Ingredients
- butter to grease inside medium saucepan
- ½ cup basmati rice washed and drained
- 5 cups milk whole
- 2 cardamom pods crushed
- a pinch nutmeg optional
- 5 tablespoons sugar
Instructions
- Grease the inside of a medium saucepan with butter.
- Pour in the milk, add the cardamom pods and bring it to a boil.
- As the milk begins to boil, add the rice and stir. Cook the rice uncovered on a low/medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Once rice is tender (after approximately 10 minutes), remove the cardamom pods and blend using a hand blender.
- Stir in the sugar and add the nutmeg.
- Continue stirring till you have a creamy but runny texture. Garnish with crushed nuts and serve warm or chilled.

Notes
- Butter the pan to prevent sticking.
- The kheer will continue to thicken after cooking/during refrigeration so allow for some liquid to remain at the end of cooking.
- Serve warm or chilled, garnished with crushed nuts
- Keep in in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
