Thai Black Rice Pudding, Chak Hao Kheer from Manipur

Here is a combined Thai and Manipuri version of Black Rice Pudding. Although more popular as a breakfast item in many South Asian countries, this also makes a great vegan dessert. And the best part is that it is super easy to make. In India, this type of rice is very popular in North Eastern states. The recipe for Thai Black Rice Pudding and the Kheer (Kheer is the Indian name for pudding) from Manipur is similar.

Called chak-hao, meaning rice ( chak) which is delicious ( ahaoba), black rice is eaten during traditional feasts. Chak-hao kheer is a popular dessert in these regions.

Black rice is indigenous to north-east India and is extensively grown in Odisha, West Bengal and Jharkhand. It is commonly eaten in Manipur because of its medicinal value.

You can use jaggery or coconut sugar as a sweetener for this recipe. Since Black rice is a powerhouse of nutrients, I am sure that you will definitely give this a try.
