By joylicious

This delightfully simple dessert is wonderful served warm or cold, with the sweetness of the milk and rice paired with the beautiful cardamom spice and the crunchiness of the nuts, it will surely become one of your favorites!

Ingredients

• 3 * 3 – 4 cups of whole milk, diluted with 1 – 2 cups of water depending on what kind of consistency preferred (less water will make it thicker and more water will make it runny)
• 1 * 1 cup basamati rice
• 1 * 1 cup condensed milk
• 1/2 * 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 * 1 tablespoon raisins
• 1 * 1 tablespoon of pistachios
• 1 * 1 tablespoon of almonds
• 1 * 1 teaspoon finely powdered cardamom seeds

Preparation

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, boil the rice in the milk on medium heat until thoroughly cooked. (About 15 minutes) Continuously whisk the milk to prevent the bottom from burning. Slowly incorporate the condensed milk and then add the sugar, raisins, and nuts. Continue to stir until the mixture thickens. If you prefer the Kheer to be more of a drink than a pudding, simply add more milk and water until the preferred consistency is achieved. Add the cardamom and garnish with nuts and cinnamon. Can be served hot or cold.
