Kheer is palatable and strengthening in nature. It is an aphrodisiac and good rejuvenating dish. Yet, it can be a bit heavy and difficult to digest. Thus a person who has low digestive fire should eat a smaller amount. Ingredients:
1 cup water |
1/2 cup basmati rice |
4 cups whole milk |
1 tsp. raisins (optional) |
2 tsp. cashews and pistachios (optional) |
10 to 12 treads of saffron (you may soak them in one teaspoon of milk for two hours) (optional) |
3 small pieces green cardamom, crushed with one teaspoon of sugar (if you crush cardamom with sugar, then it is easier to grind and increases flavor and aroma) 1/4cup of sugar (or to taste) |
Directions:
1. Soak rice in water for 2 hours.
2. Boil milk.
3. Add rice to it.
4. Boil slowly for 30 minutes or more until the mixture reaches a slightly thick consistency, but you can stir it easily.
5. Add sugar and mix it well. Cook for 5 minutes more. It will thicken a little more.
6. Put off pan from fire and let it cool. Cooling will increase its thick consistency more.
7. Add saffron (which had been soaked in milk), raisins, cashews and pistachios.
