Khīrå sāgårå (Odia: କ୍ଷୀର ସାଗର) is an Odia sweet dish that literally translates to ocean of milk in Odia language. The sweet has depiction in the Hindu mythological scripture about Lakshmi serving Vishnu and Madhusudana with it.
Khīrå sāgårå consists of marble-sized balls of chhena cheese soaked in sweetened, condensed milk. Saffron and cardamoms are the typical seasonings that are added to this dish. Khirå sagårå is typically served either at room temperature or slightly chilled.
However, the milk base in khirå sāgårå is thicker, acquiring the consistency of rabri.
