  • 2 litre full cream milk
  • ½ cup rice
  • 2 tbsp lotus seed makhane, chopped
  • ¾ cup sugar granulated
  • 2 tbsp raisin kismis
  • cardamom powder, pistachio & almond slivers elaichi powder, pista, badam, for garnishing

Instructions

  • Soak rice for 15 minutes and wash it thoroughly. Set aside. Soak raisins in 2 teaspoons of water.
  • In a thick bottom pan or wok, add chopped makhane and dry roast them for 2-3 minutes. Then add washed rice and milk. Allow them to cook on slow flame, with continuous stirring. Stirring is important so that rice doesn't get stuck to the base of the pan. It will take about 35-40 minutes for rice to cook as well as milk to reduce.

Notes

  1. Stirring is important so that kheer doesn’t get stuck to the base of the pan.
  2. You can also replace sugar with bura or khand for a rich texture and taste. Try replacing it with the same amount of sugar with khand and adjust if required.
