Kheer Recipes

Kheer Recipes:

1/2 cup Basmati rice

4 cups whole milk

1/2 cup sugar (adjust to taste)

2 tablespoons chopped nuts (almonds, cashews, pistachios)

1 teaspoon ghee (clarified butter)

Instruction:

Rinse the rice thoroughly in water until the water runs clear. Drain and set aside.
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan or a deep pot, heat the ghee over medium heat. Add the drained rice and sauté for a couple of minutes until the rice turns slightly translucent.
Pour in the milk and bring it to a boil while stirring occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Once the milk starts boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the rice simmer. Stir occasionally to ensure the rice doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.
Cook the rice in milk for about 30-35 minutes or until the rice is soft and the kheer thickens. You can use a spoon to press a grain of rice against the side of the pan to check if it's soft.
Add the sugar and continue to cook for another 5-10 minutes until the sugar dissolves, and the kheer thickens further.
Remove the kheer from heat and let it cool to room temperature. It will thicken further as it cools.
You can serve kheer warm or chilled, garnished with chopped nuts. To chill, refrigerate it for a few hours before serving.
Enjoy your homemade kheer as a delicious Indian dessert!
