Simple Kheer [Sweet Rice Pudding]
Added: 4th Sep, 2007 | Viewed 380 times | |
This kheer was a constant of my childhood. I have savoured it hot, cold, with puris and numerous other ways one can imagine. My mum used to experiment with the consistency of the kheer and I think the thicker and creamier it was, the more delicious it tasted.
 
Preparation Time: 30 mins
Cooking Time: 1 hour 30 mins
Serves 10
  Vegetarian  From My Recipe Book
Ingredients
   2 cups uncooked rice, washed and soaked for 30 minutes, then drained
   2 litres full cream milk
   1 can condensed milk
   2 cups sugar
   few strands of saffron
   2 tbsp milk masala
Method

In a heavy-bottomed saucepan simmer milk, sugar and condensed milk on medium heat for about 20 minutes, bringing the mixture to a boil. Stir constantly to avoid burning. Add the rice, saffron and milk masala, reduce heat to low and simmer for an 1 hour, stirring constantly till the kheer thickens. Serve hot or chilled garnished with slivered nuts.
Gel's Notes
  • The use of a heavy bottomed utensil is vital to avoid the rice and sugar from sticking and burning at the bottom.
  • Light condensed milk can be substituted instead of regular condensed milk.
  • Sugar can be added or lessened as per taste.
  • Soaking the rice for 30 minutes prior to cooking it in milk, ensures that the kheer turns out to be smooth, soft and fluffy.
  • More milk can be added if a thinner consistency is required. The kheer will thicken on chilling.
