Kheer recipe

Instructions

Kheer:

  • Rinse and soak the rice for 10 minutes.
  •  Heat up a heavy bottom pan on medium-high heat, add milk.
  •  Add the rinsed and drained rice to the milk.
  •  Stir often to prevent the milk and rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  •  Now add the honey. I added 6 tablespoon which is perfect for me, you can add as per your taste.
  •  Add the chopped almonds and cashews.
  •  Followed by cardamom powder.
  •  Stir well and often to prevent the milk and rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  •  Once you notice the rice and milk together (there should be less milk), you are close.
  •  The consistency is very slightly runny. Lower heat all the way, and cook the milk down slightly if you wish, just a few more minutes.
  •  Eventually you’ll have this consistency. Notice – there are no long grains of rice.
  •  This is what you want, rice pudding consistency. Turn off the stove. The rice pudding will thicken up more as it sits. If you wish for a slightly runny consistency, add a little more milk.
  •  Add the saffron threads on top.

Roat:

  • Mix together the flour, milk powder, sugar and cardamom powder in a large mixing bowl.
  •  Add the melted ghee.
  •  Mix well and add water gradually until the mixture comes together as a soft dough.
  •  Let sit for 10 minutes before dividing into small round shape.
  •  Flatten the small round-shaped dough.
  •  Add them in the pan; let them cook until they turn brownish in colour on both sides.

Enjoy!
