This is my most favorite kheer or Payasam recipe. It has very simple ingredients just milk rice nuts sweetened with condensed milk it sugar. Can it get simpler? But the taste is just out if the world. I usually make this on festive days or for potlucks or for guests at home or you know when you I just feel like eating it!
Ingredients Required
Milk - 1/2 gallon or 2 liters milk (whole)
Condensed milk - 1 can
Basmati rice - 1/4 cup
Finely Chopped nuts - 1 cup (almonds, cashews, pistachio)
Cardamon powdee - 1 tsp
Saffron - big pinch
Ghee - 1 tsp
How to make:
Wash and soak the rice in water for 30 minutes.
In a heavy bottom pan add the ghee and the rice.
Saute for few minutes and then add the milk.
Boil on medium flame with constant stirring till it reduces to 3/4th volume. Would take close to 45 minutes.
Keep pushing the malai formed on top inside the milk so it thickens.
Mash the rice so it is well blended with the milk.
Add the condensed milk and continue boil for another 15 minutes.
Add the saffron and cardamon.
Add in the roughly chopped raw nuts.
Serve hot or cold.
Notes:
The longer you cook the creamier and more delicious the kheer would be. Cook for a minimum of 60 minutes.
Cook only on medium to low flame. Else the milk will burn and you would get a burnt smell.
Always keep stirring to avoid the bott being burnt.
You do not have to roast the nuts in ghee. Add them raw to the kheer.
You can substitute sugar as per your taste instead condensed milk.
