Creamy & Delicious Kheer Recipe For Eid

What Is Kheer?

Kheer is a rich, creamy Indian rice pudding that has found a special place in South Asian cuisine. Set the rice to slowly simmer in whole milk, and you will produce a dish with a luscious texture as well as deep flavor. Sweetened with sugar, flavored by cardamom, saffron pistachios,, and other nuts, this favorite dessert is enjoyed during festival time, special occasions, or at celebrations. Therefore, it is often made for Eid, Diwali, weddings, and any time the ancestral home is full of relatives—a place that symbolizes warm hearts beating together in harmony as one. The longer you let this mixture simmer, the thicker and creamier it becomes, while the addition of almonds, pistachio nuts, and raisins makes for chewiness and nutrients.

• Occasionally stir to stop the rice sticking at the base.
• Soak the rice for a minimum of 30 minutes for faster cooking.
• Add condensed milk for added creaminess (optional).
• Let the kheer rest for a while to enhance the flavors before serving.
