How to make Kheer?
Ingredients
- 1 cup Basmati rice
- 4 cups Magahi Pasteurised Full Cream Milk
- 1/2 cup sugar (adjust according to taste)
- 1 tablespoon desi ghee
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (almonds, cashews, pistachios)
- 1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder
- A pinch of saffron strands (optional)
Instructions:
- Wash the Basmati rice thoroughly and soak it in water for 30 minutes.
- In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat desi ghee over medium heat.
- Drain the soaked rice and add it to the pan. Sauté the rice for a few minutes until it turns slightly golden.
- Add Magahi Pasteurised Full Cream Milk to the pan and bring it to a gentle boil. Stir occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the rice simmer in the milk, stirring occasionally, until it becomes soft and creamy. This may take around 30-40 minutes.
- Add sugar, chopped nuts, cardamom powder and saffron strands (if using) to the pan. Mix well and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavours to blend.
- Turn off the heat and let the kheer cool down for a while.
- Serve the delicious Magahi Milk Kheer warm or chilled, garnished with additional chopped nuts on top.
