Kheer - Indian Rice Pudding
Kheer is a traditional classic Indian rice pudding which is made with rice, milk, sugar and has flavored with cardamom and saffron. Nuts are used to garnish the overall dish.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups milk
- 1 can evaporated milk
- 4 tbsp sugar
- 1/4 cup rice
- 1/2 tsp cardamom
- 1 tsp ghee
- 2 tbsp nuts, raisins
- 7-8 strands Saffron
- rose petals optional
Instructions
- Wash rice under running water and soak rice in clean water for 10 mins.
- In a heavy bottomed pan, add 2 cups of whole milk. Keep cooking the milk for 20 minutes stirring once a while in between. Do not leave it unattended. Milk will boil over.
- After 20 mins, add rice and sugar to the milk. Keep stirring and cooking until it reduces in half quantity and rice is properly cooked, over all it has thickened in consistency. At this stage, add evaporated milk and cook another few minutes until you get the consistency you like. Remember, it will thicken a bit as it cools down.
- Add cardamom powder, ghee roasted nuts and raisins. If you like you can dilute some saffron in warm milk to bloom it and add that to the kheer.
- Serve warm or cold.
Notes
Grate tiny bit of nutmeg as well, if you like it.
You can serve it warm or cold.
