খেজুর গুড়ের পায়েস ॥ khejur Gurer Payesh ॥ Nolen Gurer Payesh ॥ Sweet Recipe In Bangla

Bengali comfort food, Khejur Gurer Payesh, is made with aromatic short-grain "gorinbobhog" or "kalijeera" rice. Although sugar is frequently added to sweeten it, on special occasions, kejur gur (date palm jaggery) is used to convert the normally white payesh a mild brown color.

Rice Pudding Celebrated with Gurer Payesh
I don't remember any special occasions when khejur gurer payesh wasn't made when I was a child.

This creamy comfort-in-a-bowl was a regular presence at family get-togethers, birthday parties, post-exam celebrations, and festivals. This rite is still performed in a strict manner.

AUSPICIOUS PAYESH FOR BENGALIES
Payesh is not simply a light treat but also auspicious when consumed at home. The first solid meal an infant tastes is payesh. Gurer Khejur Payesh is made for celebrations such as weddings and birthdays.

It's not a quick dessert; it requires focus and patience. We take the security of our payesh very seriously and cannot rush it. Thus, a Bengali soul can be satiated by pressure cooking or instant pot cooked payesh.
