Usually, flavours such as saffron, cardamom, raisins, and/or other nuts particularly almonds, cashews, and pistachios are added to it. In place of the rice, you can alternatively make this dish with broken wheat, tapioca, or vermicelli.
You can have it for breakfast, as a post-meal dessert, or just whenever you feel like something sweet.

How to Make Kheer
- The rice will first be Overcooked in boiling water for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they are extremely tender and mushy.
- After that, drain the rice and thoroughly mash it with the back of a fork until it starts to resemble porridge.
- Next, bring milk to a slow simmer in a big saucepan made of stainless steel.
- Split open the cardamom pods and pour the milk into them. (Since we are just using 5 pods, you can easily remove the husk once Kheer is finished.)
- Add the sugar and rice next. Although the rice will be clumpy when it cooks, it will soften.
- Cook the kheer for 1 hour on extremely low heat. Make sure to stir it from time to time. Make sure you use a stainless-steel pot since the milk will eventually catch at the bottom of a non-stick saucepan. Otherwise, the brown bits will peel off as you stir and disseminate them throughout the kheer. That is so disgusting!
- Kheer should have thickened after 1 hour of low simmering. The spatula should release it in little clumps.
- Pour right away into terracotta bowls and sprinkle with chopped mix Nuts. The best part is the skin that eventually grows on the outside!
- To serve, let the kheer cool in the serving dish for 15 to 20 minutes.
- You may hold onto this the fridge closed for a maximum of three days, so who’s even save for later
