What is Rice Pudding?
Rice pudding, often called 'kheer' in India, is a creamy dessert made by simmering rice in milk and sugar. It's a comforting classic, a staple in many
IN homes, and it offers a sweet, milky flavour, often spiced with cardamom or garnished with nuts. It’s an all-time favourite.
Simple Recipe Steps
To make it, you'll need rice, milk, sugar, and your favourite spices. Start by slowly cooking the rice in milk until it's soft and creamy. Add sugar and spices to taste. Remember the classic 'kheer' methods your grandma used? This recipe is similar, but faster!
Variations & Substitutions
Love a twist? Add saffron for a rich colour and flavour, or include some chopped nuts for crunch. If you don’t have regular rice, try using broken rice for a faster cook. Experiment and find your perfect 'kheer' combination - your taste buds will thank you!
Tips & Tricks
For an even creamier texture, stir frequently. Use full-fat milk for the best results. Keep the heat low and be patient – the longer it simmers, the creamier it gets! If you are using cardamom, add a little bit. Also, don’t forget to garnish it with almonds or pistachios.
Storing Rice Pudding
Once cooled, store your rice pudding in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. You can enjoy it cold, or reheat it gently on the stovetop or in the microwave. It’s the perfect IN dessert for any day! Enjoy this simple, sweet taste of home.
