Nestlé MILKMAID, a name synonymous with delicious desserts announces World Kheer Day on 30 November, a day dedicated to the dessert that every Indian home has grown up with. 

Kheer is one dessert that truly unites India – divided in recipes and ingredients, united by the warmth and nostalgia it evokes. From festivals, homecomings to everyday celebrations, it continues to be a symbol of togetherness across the country. MILKMAID has helped keep this tradition alive in a way that is easy, quick and just as comforting. 

Manav Sahni, Head, Dairy Business, Nestlé India, said, "World Kheer Day is our way of celebrating a dessert that connects generations across the country. Kheer is prepared differently in every region, but it holds the same warmth and nostalgia everywhere. With MILKMAID, we hope that our consumers can enjoy rich and creamy Kheer which tastes amazing." 

Kheer takes on a new name and a new form in every corner of India – yet it carries the same heartbeat everywhere. In the North, it’s the creamy elegance of rice kheer. On fasting days, sabudana kheer brings comfort and devotion. Eid arrives with the richness of sheer khurma, a celebration in every spoon. Maharashtra stirs up sheviyanchi kheer with festive pride. Bengal serves payesh – an apt embodiment for its love for life. Odisha offers kheeri, rich in tradition and blessings. And the South welcomes you with payasam – from semiya to palada – the warm hugs in a bowl. The ingredients may vary, the names may change, but the emotion remains constant – a universal sweetness, shared across a nation. 

Nestlé MILKMAID, known for making desserts easy and delicious for over 100 years, aims to make this celebration simple for every home. This World Kheer Day, MILKMAID invites everyone to make their preferred kheer, use MILKMAID for convenience and enjoy a dessert that continues to bring people together. Kheer recipes and preparation ideas are available on the MILKMAID website to explore and try at home.
