Soak a few strands of saffron in 1 tablespoon of warm milk and add it along with the coconut milk for a beautiful color and royal aroma.
Feel free to use other nuts like slivered almonds or chopped pistachios for the garnish instead of or in addition to cashews.
For extra texture and flavor, you can add 1 tablespoon of roasted and ground white poppy seeds (khus khus) along with the coconut milk.
Chana dal provides a good amount of plant-based protein, which is essential for muscle repair and overall body function.
Jaggery is an unrefined sugar that retains more minerals like iron and magnesium compared to white sugar, contributing to better overall health.
The combination of complex carbohydrates from rice and dal, along with the natural sugars from jaggery, provides a steady release of energy.
One serving of Godshe (approximately 1 cup) contains around 430-450 calories, primarily from jaggery, coconut milk, and ghee.
Godshe is a traditional dessert and should be enjoyed in moderation. It offers some health benefits from chana dal (protein, fiber) and jaggery (minerals), but it is also high in calories and natural sugars. It's a healthier alternative to desserts made with refined sugar.
Yes, you can. Cook the soaked dal and rice in a heavy-bottomed pot with about 4-5 cups of water. It will take longer, about 40-50 minutes, to become completely soft. You may need to add more hot water as it cooks.
While you can substitute with an equal amount of brown sugar, using jaggery is essential for the authentic taste, color, and aroma of traditional Godshe.
Store Godshe in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It will thicken when chilled. Reheat gently on the stovetop, adding a little warm water or coconut milk to reach the desired consistency.
This recipe is naturally gluten-free. To make it vegan, simply use coconut oil or another vegan butter substitute instead of ghee for the tempering.
