Rice kheer

Rice kheer

Serves 4
Ingredients:
1 c. basmati rice
1 qt whole milk
1-2 c water (the exact amount depends on how
thick you like the kheer), diluted in the milk
1/2 c sugar
1 T raisins (I think I used about 1/4 cup)
1 T cashew nut pieces, almonds, and pistachios
(I used about 2 T of sliced almonds)
1/4 t finely powdered elaichi (cardamom) seeds


Directions:- Boil the rice in the milk in a medium saucepan,
on a medium fire. Stir constantly until the rice
is cooked. (If you stop stirring when the milk is
hot, it could burn on the bottom.)
- Once the liquid starts getting warmer, add the
sugar, raisins, and nuts. Keep stirring, making
sure the sugar dissolves.
- Keep stirring; the mixture will thicken.
- At the very end, add the cardamom powder.
- Serve hot or let it cool before serving.
- Refrigerate leftovers.
Enjoy!
