Ingredients for Rice Kheer

To make rice kheer, you will need 5 spoons of rice, 1 liter full cream milk, 5 spoons of sugar, 4 cardamoms, 10 almonds, 10 cashews, 1 spoon of raisins and 2 spoons of ghee.

Prepare rice kheer like this

First of all, wash the rice thoroughly and soak it in water for about 15 minutes. After this, drain the water from the rice and grind it lightly. This will cook the rice faster and the texture of the kheer will also be better.

Now put milk in a heavy bottomed vessel and heat it on low flame. After the milk boils, add prepared rice into it. After adding rice, keep the flame low and keep stirring the kheer occasionally, so that the milk does not stick to the bottom of the vessel.

When the rice melts well and the milk slowly starts thickening, then add sugar to it. After this, add cardamom and finely chopped almonds, cashews and raisins and cook for a few more minutes.

If you want, you can also lightly fry the dry fruits in some ghee and add them to the kheer. However, keep your family's tradition and beliefs in mind while preparing satvik food during Pitru Paksha.

When the kheer becomes as thick as you like, turn off the gas. Let it cool for some time or you can serve it hot as per your choice. In this way, delicious and traditional rice kheer can be easily prepared at home.
