Rice kheer is a famous Indian dessert topped with nuts and flavored with saffron.
Ingredients
- Basamati rice - 1/4 cup
- Ghee - 1 tablespoon
- Full fat milk - 4 cups
- Sugar - 1/4 cup
- Condensed milk - 1/4 cup
- Salt a pinch
- Saffron strands - 1 teaspoon
- Cardamom powder - 1 teaspoon
- Chopped nuts - 1/4 cup
Directions
- Step 1 Soak the Basmati rice for 10 minutes.
- Step 2 In the meanwhile boil the milk.
- Step 3 Add a tablespoon of warm milk to the saffron and keep it aside.
- Step 4 Heat a pan and a teaspoon of ghee.
- Step 5 Once the ghee is hot add the soaked and drained basmati rice to it.
- Step 6 Stir it for a minute and then add the warm milk.
- Step 7 Once the milk attains the rolling boil, reduce the flame and stir it often to avoid the rice sticking to its bottom.
- Step 8 After 15-20 minutes the milk would have thickened.
- Step 9 Now check the rice, if the rice is cooked enough add the salt, sugar and condensed milk.
- Step 10 Mash the rice with the back of the laddle.
- Step 11 It might look thin in consistency but once the kheer is chilled it will be thickened enough.
- Step 12 After 5 minutes, add the cardamom powder and chopped nuts.
- Step 13 Switch off the flame and allow it to cool/chill for few minutes and then serve it.
- Step 14
NOTES:
- You can use any type of rice but basmati rice gives you a unique flavor.
- In recipe I have used both condensed milk and sugar, if you dont have condensed milk at home you can skip it and extra 1/2 cup of sugar to it.
- If your kheer is to thick and some warm water before serving.
- You can add any nuts of your choice or add a teaspoon of ghee and roast some cashews and raisins and add it.
- For the flavors you can also add rose water or kejera water in the kheer.
