Indian Desserts : Rice Kheer | Doodh Paak | Rice Payasam Recipe

Rice Kheer also known as rice pudding, is an important and traditional Indian sweet dish. Rice Kheer is a classic dessert, very traditional to the Indian subcontinent.  Here is a very quick and easy rice kheer recipe. A great way to use left-over rice.

Preparation Time: 20 minutes including time for preparation of Rice

Servings: 4

Ingredients:

• 500 ml Milk
• 250 gms Rice
• 200 gms Sugar
• 50 gms ghee 
• 3 table spoon chopped nuts 

Method:

• Pick and wash the rice.
• Soak in water for 30 minutes.

• Drain completely.
• Melt the ghee in a pan, add the drained rice and saute for 5-7 minutes on a medium flame.

• Add milk and cook on a low flame till the milk is reduced to 3/4th its original quantity.
• Add the sugar and simmer further till the milk is reduced to half its original quantity.

• Garnish with nuts roasted in ghee.

PS:  We could use the left over rice as well. If that’s is the case, just add rice in a kadai and use half the quantity of milk (that is 250 ml). And follow the same procedure. Beleave me, one cant guess the used rice is left over rice. :)
