Ingredients

  • 1 liter Milk
  • 100 gram Rice ( govindbhog)
  • ¾ cup Sugar
  • 2 tbsp Dry fruits
  • 2 pieces Cardamom
  • 1 pinch saffron 14 to 16 saffron strands

Instructions

  • To make this sweet recipe first we take a heavy bottom kadahi and heat it well. Then pour one teaspoon of ghee into kadahi and heat it on low flame.
  • After heating this pour finely chopped dry fruits in it. Stir it carefully and fry it for appx. 1minutes. Now remove it from the heat and separate it from kadahi. Put it on the table.
  • Now take a pan. Pour one-litre milk into this pan. Switch on the flame and place it upon the gas. Heat it well on medium flame till it boiled and thickly condensed.
  • At the same time take another pan. pour rice in it and wash well. Now strain out the rice from excess water and keep it in lukewarm water for some time.
  • When the milk gets to boil, then pour this rice into the milk. Now shimmer the gas. We see that the rice is cooked in milk slowly and this recipe's aroma is heart-touching. Stir them regularly with a spoon after waiting a few minutes.
  • In case of a less liquid consistency, we add two cups of water in it and stir from below the pan. Carefully stir it to continue and cook on medium-low flame.
  • Mind that the mixture could not gather in the bottom and not touch the bottom of the pot. This time is the burning condition of the kheer recipe. It gives a bad smell and loss of the actual taste of this recipe. So carefully cook them and stir well.
  • After sometimes, when the rice gets soft and smooth then add crushed cardamom, saffron and fried dry fruits in it. Now at the last add sugar and stir well for about five minutes.
  • The sugar is caramelised with kheer mixture and gives a sweet taste. Now remove this pan from the heat and we can garnish it with small chopped cherries.
  • It gives a separate look at this fabulous recipe. Put this kheer-filled pan for fifteen minutes under the fan.
  • Now put it in the refrigerator for the cooling process and at last, after cooling we get the condensed thick consistency of this recipe.
  • Now serve it on a serving plate and enjoy this flavourful, fantastic, sweet kheer ….. Enjoy with your family & friends.

Notes

  • Preferably use govindbhog or basmati rice for that fragrant aroma. 
  • Amount of dry fruits, nuts and sugar can be adjusted as per your taste. You can add your preferred nuts and dry fruits to the kheer.
