Comments: For East Indian cooks, this is an aromatic milk dessert. For Jewish cooks, it is not unlike their famous kugel. Their recipes call for cottage cheese to replace the cream cheese and some of the milk, currants in place of raisins, and cinnamon as the spice of choice. With few changes, this low-calorie version of kheer could also become light kugel.
