Creamy Rice Pudding (Kheer)

Step 1: Boil Water

Pour 700ml of water into a pot and bring it to a boil.

Step 2: Cook Rice

Once the water is boiling, add 200g of rice to the pot. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and stir well. Cook on low heat for 10-15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is cooked.

Step 3: Add Milk and Sugar

Pour 1 liter of milk into the pot with the cooked rice. Add 100g of sugar and stir to combine.

Step 4: Simmer and Thicken

Cook the mixture on medium heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the kheer to thicken. Add 50g of raisins and continue to simmer until it reaches your desired consistency.

Step 5: Serve and Garnish

Once thickened, remove the kheer from heat. Serve warm or chilled, garnished with sliced almonds and chopped pistachios.

• Stir the rice and milk mixture frequently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.

• Adjust the amount of sugar according to your preference.

• For a richer and creamier kheer, use full-fat milk.

• Add a pinch of saffron for color and aroma.

• Include cardamom powder for a traditional flavor.

• Garnish with other nuts like cashews or walnuts.
