Nepal is known as a country of festivals, Nepal marks Shrawan 15 as Kheer Khane Din (rice pudding day) in Nepali calendar annually.
Today is the 15th of Shrawan, a day marked as Kheer/Khir Khane Din in the Nepali calendar, which translates to a day for eating rice pudding. This day is observed to mark the end of the paddy planting season and to commemorate the hard work and achievement of the farmers.
It is celebrated in grand fashion to commemorate the accomplishments of farmers, who work hard throughout that period. However, Shrawan 15 would be incomplete without the delectable kheer.
On this day, in almost every Nepali household, a special dish of rice pudding, locally known as kheer/khir, is cooked and offered to the deities before the family members enjoy this sweet delicacy. Kheer is considered a holy and pure food that is usually made during religious rituals and festivals.
Kheer tastes incredible, but making this dish is not that complicated at all. But, having patience is a must. Celebrate this Kheer Khane Din by making this sweet rice pudding on your own and enjoy it with your family.
Kheer or rice pudding is known to be an integral part of parties and ceremonies in Nepali culture. It is regarded as a pure dish or food in Nepal, as it is rice cooked in milk. From marriage parties to funerals, we serve and eat kheer on different occasions. It is mainly eaten as a dessert or side dish with Puri or Sel.
