Rice Kheer



I learnt this recipe from my friend mala. The original recipe she shared used milk and sugar. Since I am super lazy and a big fan of anything made with milkmaid I altered the recipe this way. Whenever we make a north indian lunch menu I love to make this kheer for dessert. Do try this simple yet very rich kheer and share your feedback :).

Rice Kheer

Cuisine: Indian
Category: Sweet/Dessert
Difficulty level: Easy
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook time: 20 mins
Servings: 3-4

Ingredients

Basmati Rice
4 Tsp
Milk
1/2 Cup
Milk maid
1/2 Cup
Saffron
Few strands
Cardamom Powder
A generous pinch
Ghee
1 Tsp
Cashews
4
Raisins
4

Preparation

     1.     Soak the basmati rice in hot water for 30 mins. In the mean time heat 1 Tsp ghee and roast the cashews and raisins in medium flame for few minutes. Once they turn golden switch off the flame.  



Method
      
     1.     Roast the soaked basmati rice for few minutes and add 1/2 cup water. Cook till the rice become soft. Add more water if needed.


    2.     Once the rice gets cooked add the milk along with condensed milk and mix well.


    3.     Boil for few minutes till the desired consistency is reached. Add the cardamom powder and saffron stands.


     4.     Finally garnish with roasted nuts and serve. 

Notes
      ·         You can use raw rice too but basmati rice gives nice texture and flavour.
     ·         The kheer tastes good even without adding any flavouring agents (cardomom, saffron) or raisins. So you can skip these ingredients in case it's not available.
      ·         You can use pistachio, chironji seeds also for garnishing.
     ·         If you don't have condensed milk add 1 cup milk and 1/3 cup sugar. Milkmaid makes the process easier and gives very rich taste.
      ·         Adjust sweetness according to your taste. We love the kheer to be on sweeter side.    

Tastes best when served cold!!! :)
