Kanga che Kheer is a yummy pudding from Goa. Needless to say that it was enjoyed to the last drop.

This Kheer with Sweet Potato is made with coconut milk and is totally Vegan. Since this root vegetable is sweet the amount of sweetener you need to add is minimal.

Kanga che Kheer

Sweet potato has a soft, creamy texture. Sweet potato is a nutritious alternative to potato in sweet and savoury dishes.

Sweet potatoes are high in vitamin A, B5, B6, and riboflavin. Sweet potatoes also contain very little fat and markedly lower calorie content than potatoes. However, they do contain more sugar. It is also an antioxidant and is thus highly recommended for anti-ageing. It has also shown cancer-prevention benefits.

They are ideal for a Diabetic Diet and make an ideal addition to the Simple and Healthy Vegetarian Diet. It is also a delicious addition to a fasting food so it's used for Vraat ka Khana. How about some Goan Usali Recipe also to the menu?

Sweet Potato can be made into Sweets like this Sweet Chips, Sweet Potato Pound Cake, make savoury Kanga che Nevri (traditionally these are made sweet but I have made them spicy), Sweet Potato Chaat.

This sweet potato kheer is very different from the one I make. I will surely try your recipe as I love kheers with coconut milk in it.

Sweet Potato in kheer...wow !! I would have never believed this if anyone had told me before I hit on your recipe . The kheer sounds flavorful and unique with a combination of sweet potato and coconut milk.

Goan Kanga che Kheer sounds like a delicious kheer. Have not tried a sweet potato kheer. With coconut am sure it must be so tasty and creamy too. Can it be made without rice? Would love to try it out for Ekadashi fasting.
