How to Make Kheer

Kheer is a traditional Indian dessert made with rice, milk, and sugar. Here’s a simple recipe to make this delicious dish.

Ingredients

• 1 cup Basmati rice
• 4 cups whole milk
• 1 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
• 1/4 cup chopped nuts (cashews, almonds)
• 1/4 cup raisins
• 1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder
• 2 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter)

Instructions

1. Wash the Rice: Rinse the Basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak it in water for 30 minutes, then drain.
2. Boil the Milk: In a heavy-bottomed pan, bring the milk to a boil, stirring continuously to prevent burning.

4. Sweeten: After the rice is cooked (approximately 20-25 minutes), add sugar and mix well until dissolved.
5. Flavor it: Stir in the cardamom powder, and add ghee, chopped nuts, and raisins. Cook for another 5-10 minutes.
6. Serve: Garnish with saffron strands if using. Serve warm or chilled.
