This traditional, Purple kheer is made with Manipuri Black Rice called Chak-Hao. This is my mother's favorite pudding. She learned from her Mamipuri college and then began to cook for us as this rice is nutrients rich and very tasty.

Black rice is also known as forbidden rice or purple rice has immense nutritional and health benefits. This rice has antioxidants, natural dexotifier, a good source of fiber, preventing the risk of diabetes, preventing the risk of obesity, richer protein content, and better heart health. It is one of the healthiest varieties of Rice, packed with a wide array of Nutrients. Black rice has a very unique flavor and is Nutty in taste and texture. The rice is aromatic and flavorful.
Black Rice takes a longer time to cook than the other normal rice. The rice is soaked for a couple of hours or overnight and then cooked. Some even pressure cooks the rice first before making the recipe to make it faster. But here I have soaked the rice overnight and cooked it like the way my mother cooks as Manipuri cook normal rice.
