Boil the milk in a deep pan. After the milk gets boiled, turn the heat to low.
1 Litre Milk
Wash rice 3-4 times and put them into the boiling milk.
1/2 Cup Basmati Rice
Allow it to simmer on low flame for atleast half an hour till the rice is cooked. Stir it in between at regular intervals to ensure that the mixture does not stick to the bottom and gets burnt.
The mixture will start to thicken when the rice has been cooked and the volume of the milk gets reduced.
Add sugar to the mixture, stir and boil it for a couple of minutes.
3/4 Cup Sugar
Now switch off the flame and add crushed cardamom, raisins (Kishmish) and small pieces of almond and cashews.
3-4 Green Cardamom (Hari Elaichi), 25-30 Raisins (Kishmish), 10-12 Almonds (Baadam), 8-10 Cashew Nuts (Kaju)
Rice Kheer is ready. Garnish it with dry fruits before serving. It tastes delicious when eaten both hot and cold.
