Gur Ki Kheer (Jaggery Rice Kheer Recipe)
A rich and creamy Gur Ki Kheer made with basmati rice, milk, and jaggery. This traditional Indian dessert is naturally sweet, aromatic, and perfect for festivals, prasad, or everyday indulgence.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Basmati Rice
- 1 liter Full-fat milk
- 1 cup Jaggery (gur)
- 1/4 cup Mixed dry fruits (cashews, almonds, pistachios, raisins)
- 1/2 tbsp Cardamom powder
- A pinch of saffron strands
- 1 tbsp Ghee (clarified butter)
Instructions
- Wash the Basmati rice properly and soak it in water for 30 minutes.
- In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat ghee and add the soaked rice. Cook the rice for a few minutes until it turns slightly golden.
- In the same pan, add milk and bring it to a boil. Lower the heat and allow the rice to cook in the milk, stirring occasionally.
- Add the jaggery once the rice cooks and the kheer thicken to a creamy consistency, then mix well until it dissolves completely.
- Add cardamom powder and saffron strands, giving the kheer a fragrant and vibrant appeal.
- Simmer the kheer for a few more minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Turn off the heat and garnish the kheer with a generous sprinkle of mixed dry fruits.
Notes
- Always add jaggery after turning off the heat to prevent curdling.
- Adjust jaggery quantity based on sweetness preference.
- Use fresh, soft jaggery for best flavor.
