Ingredients
- ¾ cup (140 grams, 4.94 ounces) basmati rice rinsed and then soaked for at least 4-6 hours or overnight (see note 1)
- 2 ½ cups (625 ml/grams, 22.04 ounces) milk
- ½ cup (125 ml/grams, 4.41 ounces) water
- ¼ cup (50 grams, 1.76 ounces) white granulated sugar or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon salt or to taste
- 3-4 cardamom pods
- ¼ teaspoon saffron strands
- 2 tablespoons chopped nuts of choice pistachios, almonds, cashews, optional to garnish
Instructions
- Using a pestle and mortar, your hands, or food processor, grind the soaked and drained rice until most of the grains are broken but not completely mashed. Set aside.
- In a medium sized pot bring the milk and water to a boil, stirring occasionally so that the milk doesn’t burn.
- Reduce heat to a simmer and add the sugar and salt, stir until dissolved.
- Add the rice, cardamom, and saffron, reduce the heat to low and cook until the rice is soft but not mushy. (see note 2). It could take about 20 to 25 minutes to cook (more or less depending on how long you soaked your rice for). Do not leave your pot unattended as it could boil over. Don’t forget to stir occasionally.
- Once the rice is cooked and the rice pudding is thick, turn off heat and remove the cardamom pods. (see note 3). Allow to cool or serve hot with chopped nuts to garnish.
Notes
- This kheer will thicken as it cools. If you find it too thick, you could add some water or milk and adjust the seasonings to taste.
- Wash and rinse the rice until the water runs clear. This may take about 3-4 rinses. Then cover the rice in fresh room temperature water and allow it to soak for 4 to 6 hours or overnight.
- The rice should be firm on the outside and soft on the inside.
- The rice pudding should have the consistency like double cream/heavy cream.
