Kheeri - Rice Kheer

Simple recipe to make a quick rice kheeri. Quick because I have used evaporated milk. This can be done even more easily in a pressure cooker, but thats for another day.. :)

What I used

• 1/4 cup golden raisins
• 1/4 cup chopped cashews
• 2 teaspoons ghee
• 4 cardamom pods - lightly pound
• 1/2 cup basmati rice - washed thoroughly & soaked for about 1 hour
• 1 full can of evaporated milk
• 1/2 cup sugar (or more if you like your kheeri sweeter)

Process (I did it in a deep sauce pan)

• Heat ghee in the deep sauce pan.
• When little hot, add the cardamom pods + cashews
• When cashews are little bit brown, add the raisins
• Next goes in the rice, fry a little bit
• In goes the evaporated milk + 1/2 cup of water + sugar
• Keep the flame on low and let the rice + milk mixture come to boil. 
• If you have the patience to check every 2 mins, then close the lid on the sauce pan. 
• If not, then leave it open & you might have to add more water.
• After the rice is totally cooked and mushed up & kheeri is of desired consistency, we are good to go.
