Rice Kheer
Kheer recipes have evolved to suit regional and personal preferences. Every part of India has its own version of Kheer. For a change try Kheer with rice and see what a rich taste it has...
Ingredients
3 - 4 cups of whole milk, diluted with 1 - 2 cups of water (The proportion of water will determine the thickness of the Kheer.)
1 cup rice (it is best to use an Indian variety like basmati rice)
1 cup condensed milk
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon raisins
1 tablespoon of dry roasted cashew nut pieces. (Cashew nuts can be substituted with almonds or pistachio)
1 teaspoon finely powdered elaichi (cardamom) seeds
Method
Boil the rice in the milk on a medium flame until the rice is cooked.
Make sure you stir frequently; otherwise your milk may burn at the bottom of the vessel.
Add the condensed milk, sugar, raisins, and nuts. Stir till the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens.
Add the cardamom and serve hot.
