ABOUT MILLET MANGANEM RECIPE

Manganem is a traditional kheer recipe that is made in Goa during religious functions and festivals. The Bengal Gram sweet kheer is also served in Goan temples as an offering (prasad). It simple and quick to make and is a whole some sweet that is made from chana dal, sabudana and with taste from jaggery, cashew nuts and ghee. I have made a small variation with this goan kheer by adding our barnyard millet / kuthiraivali arisi to it to enhance the taste of Manganem. So friends try this healthy variation of Manganem.
