Hey everyone, looking for a delicious and comforting dessert? Look no further than Rice Kheer, a classic Indian rice pudding that's simple to make and perfect for any occasion!
What You'll Need:
- 1/2 cup Basmati Rice
- 4 cups Milk (full-fat for extra creaminess)
- 1/4 cup Sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon Cardamom Powder
- A few strands Saffron (optional)
- Chopped Nuts & Raisins (optional, for garnish)
Let's Make Kheer!
- Rice Prep: Rinse the basmati rice a couple of times until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for 15-20 minutes (optional, but helps cook faster).
- Milk Magic: In a pot, heat the milk over medium heat. Bring it to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer.
- Rice Time: Drain the soaked rice (if using) and add it to the simmering milk. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Sweetness & Spice: Once the rice is cooked through and creamy, add sugar and cardamom powder. Stir to dissolve the sugar.
- Saffron Touch (Optional): If using saffron, soak the strands in a little warm milk for a few minutes. Then, add the saffron-infused milk to the kheer.
- Finishing Touches: Turn off the heat and let the kheer cool slightly. Garnish with chopped nuts and raisins (optional) for extra flavor and texture.
Tips:
- Want it richer? Add a tablespoon of ghee while cooking the rice with the milk.
- Like it thinner? Add more milk while the rice is cooking.
- Adjust the sugar to your preference. You can also use condensed milk for added sweetness.
- Leftover kheer can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
