rice kheer recipe

Rice Kheer recipe is a delicious Indian rice pudding made with rice, sugar, milk,and flavored with saffron and cardamom. Rice Kheer is traditional Indian dessert made during festivals ( during diwali) and weddings.  In today’s recipe, I used both sugar and condensed milk for sweetness. The condensed milk gives a nice richness and creaminess to the kheer. You can use both or either sugar or condensed milk in the recipe. The addition of crushed almonds and pistachio gives the much needed crunch to this creamy kheer. The powdered cardamom and saffron gives a floral fragrance to the rice kheer .

The consistency of the kheer can be very thin or thick. Its completely a personal choice. I like slightly thicker kheer. You may serve the kheer  warm or cold. Either way it tastes equally delicious.

Each region in Indian has its own name for the rice kheer.  Paal payasam, payasa, payesh,, fereni are some of the different names for the rice kheer.In the north the rice kheer is popularly called as chawal ki kheer. In south India, payasam is the first food given to the infant during the annaprasana (first rice eating celebration). In addition to the rice kheer, the kheer’s made of vermicelli, dals and tapioca are equally popular.

For a low fat version, replace whole milk with the low fat milk. And replace sugar with jaggery.

To make it vegan, replace the milk with coconut milk and skip the condensed milk.
