Hi, I made this the first time and it came out excellent. Last week I made it twice on the same day and it curdled both the times once i added the apples. Please please let me know where I might be going wrong since I love this recipe. Thx

Thank you for your review. There can be 2 reasons why the kheer must have curdled- 1. your milk must have been spoilt 2. your apples must be old. We re-tried the recipe after your comment and it was perfect, we have also standarized the recipe more by writing the exact timings for each step... Hope you re make it and it turns out great. Happy Cooking !!

Its a great recipe :) A welcome change from the regular rice kheer. I don't like very sweet kheer and thus reduced the quantity of sugar.
