Kheer (Rice Pudding)
Kheer is Indian rice pudding made with only three basic ingredients: rice, milk and sugar. It is usually flavored with saffron and cardamom, and topped with nuts and dried fruit. However, to make a good kheer, it needs to have the perfect creamy texture and aroma!
Ingredients:
Serves 4
- ½ cup rice
- 5 cups milk
- ½ cup unsweetened condensed milk or evaporated milk
- 8 tbsp sugar
- 4 cardamoms
- raisins, nuts to decorate
How to make Kheer:
- Rinse the rice under water and place into the pan.
- Add the half of the milk and stir.
- Add cardamoms.
- Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes until soft.
- Stir the mixture and try to mash the rice for few minutes.
- Then add sugar, remaining milk and condensed milk. Simmer gently for about 10 minutes or until the rice is quite thick in consistency. If the kheer is to thick, add a little extra milk.
- Remove from the heat and pour into serving dishes.
- Decorate with nuts and raisins. Kheer can be served hot or cold.
