Chef Tip

When you serve Matar ki Kheer, initially serve it as Pista Kheer, as most people are not very receptive to the idea of eating kheer made out of green peas. However disclose it later to prompt people to try a second helping. - See more at: http://www.sanjeevkapoor.com/matar-ki-kheer---khazana-of-indian-recipes.aspx#sthash.fezL5RDl.dpuf
