#CookpadDessert
Rice cooked with milk and flavored delicately with cardamom.

A delectable Indian dessert made using Rice, milk and sugar as main ingredients. Flavored with the delicate flavor of green cardamom, this dessert is fit for the royals. You may also add some saffron to the Kheer to make “KesariKHeer” .Kheer if cooked properly is creamy, rich and a perfect amalgamation of rice, milk and sugar. Soaked rice is cooked with full cream milk on low flame for a long duration so that both of them combine to give us a creamy and thick pudding like texture. Then sugar is added and it is cooked again for 5-7 minutes. It is better to use the regular variety of rice for kheer as it absorbs the milk gloriously and gives us just the right consistency required.

Make sure to keep stirring the Kheer, scraping the sides and the bottom while it cooks on low heat. This will ensure that the kheer doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan or gets burnt.

If you feel your kheer has become too thick or lumpy add some hot milk and stir again.

Enjoy it while still warm or chill it in the refrigerator. My personal favorite is chilled Kheer with lots of nuts. Just remember to cover it while cooling to avoid the formation of a thick layer on the top.
