Indian Rice Pudding Kheer Recipe

	Unswissmiss / All my dishes 1 year, 3 months ago An Indian friend taught me to make this in college. The technique is similar to that for risotto, and while it's easy, it's very time consuming and requires fairly constant watching to ensure it doesn't burn. The results are worth the effort though - extraordinarily creamy and delicious.... More Prep:5m Cook:45m Servings:8	Unswissmiss

Ingredients

5 C whole milk (approximate)

1/4 C sugar (more to taste, if desired - I prefer dishes to be less sweet)

3 green cardamom pods, seeds extracted and ground, or 1/2 tsp ground cardamom (optional)

1 C basmati rice

2 Tbsp ghee (clarified butter) or unsalted butter

crushed almonds (optional)

Directions

In a saucepan, warm milk. Dissolve sugar in it, and remove from heat. Stir in ground cardamom.

Saute the rice in butter until it turns translucent, approximately 2 minutes over medium-high heat.

Turn the heat down to medium-low. By 1/2 cups, add the milk, stirring until it is absorbed. As the rice cooks, it will take longer and longer for the milk to be absorbed.

If the rice grains are not tender by the time the milk is gone, add more milk and continue process under they are. (It's OK to add it straight from the carton.)

Adjust sweetening to taste.

Serve warm or cold, garnished with a spoonful of crushed almonds, if desired.

Adding this to my list as well! My husband LOVES this dish. I tend to go for the one that also has the carrots in it. :) Hmm, I foresee an Indian-themed dinner coming up...

Great! Most of the Indian recipes are made in the Pressure cooker. That is the best, efficient & energy saving way too. Just put all the ingredients in a large steel bowl which fits into the cooker (you want to give room for the milk to boil and raise and get condensed, hence a large bowl) and place that inside the pressure cooker filling the cooker with almost 2" of water. This
recipe can be done in 30 min. rather than 1 &1/2.
