Kheer (Rice Pudding) is one of the favourite dishes in Nepal and is an integral part of parties and ceremonies. Kheer is regarded as a “pure” food in Nepal, as it is rice cooked in milk and so it is used in all pujas as well as weddings and other religious celebrations.
There are many ways to prepare Kheer and I am sharing a quick and easy recipe using sweetened condensed milk to get the desired thickness and sweetness for Kheer. I made a big portion recently, which served 20+ people so please adjust the recipe according to your need.
Ingredients
- 3 cups Arborio rice
- 4 litres full fat milk
- 2 tins (375 gm. each) sweetened condensed milk
- 4 tablespoons Ghee (clarified butter)
- 2 tablespoons chopped dry fruits
- 2 tablespoons chopped Almonds
- 10-15 cardamom pods sliced
Steps
- In a big container, pour all the milk and sweetened condensed milk and bring it to boil.
- In the meantime mix rice with ghee using your hand (do not wash rice).
- Pour rice into the hot boiling milk and stir it continually.
- Cook the mixture for 15-20 minutes on low heat until rice gets cooked.
- Kheer is ready when it becomes thick.
- Turn off the heat and add chopped dried fruits, almonds and cardamom pods and mix well.
- Kheer is now ready to be served hot Or cool it down and put in the fridge as it tastes amazing when cold too and makes a great dessert.
