Ingredients
- 1 ltr full-cream milk
- ¼ cup basmati rice use medium or small grain size variety
- ½ cup grated/ powdered jaggery adjust the quantity as per your taste
- 2 tablespoon chopped nuts cashew nut/ almond/ pistachio
- 1 tablespoon golden raisins
- ¼ teaspoon green cardamom powder
Instructions
- Wash the rice nicely and keep aside.
- Heat milk in a heavy-bottomed pot. After the first boil, add rice, chopped dry fruits, and cardamom powder. Mix well. Cook on a low- medium flame for at least 30 minutes. Keep on stirring in between so that it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan
- Once the kheer looks thick and creamy, switch off the gas. Allow the kheer to cool down for around 4-5 minutes and then add the grated jaggery, mix well.
- Allow the kheer to cool down for around 4-5 minutes (not more than that) and then add the grated jaggery, mix well. Garnish with chopped dry fruits and serve. You can also keep it in the fridge for 2-3 hours and serve chilled.
Notes
- Don't add jaggery to the boiling kheer otherwise, the milk will get curdled.
- Also, don't add jaggery to the cold kheer, it won't get mixed properly. Just allow the kheer to cool down for 4-5 minutes after switching off the gas, and then add the jaggery.
