Best Indian Rice Pudding With Cardamom Recipes

KHEER RECIPE, HOW TO MAKE RICE KHEER

Steps:

• Wash rice a few times & drain completely. Chop the nuts & set aside.
• Pour ¼ cup water to a large heavy bottom pot. This prevents kheer from getting scorched at the bottom.
• Then pour milk & bring to a boil.
• Keep stirring the milk often to prevent the fats getting stuck to the bottom.
• Add drained rice and begin to cook on a medium flame until the rice is soft, completely cooked and lightly mushy.
• Keep stirring often to prevent the milk getting scorched at the bottom.
• Stir in the sugar and continue to cook until the rice kheer turns thick.
• Keep stirring often in between to prevent burning.
• Add cardamom powder, rose water and nuts. Stir and continue to cook for 5 minutes.
• Turn off when the rice kheer reaches a desired consistency, slightly runny.
• Kheer thickens once it cools down. Garnish rice kheer with more nuts and serve.
• Optional - Most people don't like ghee in their kheer. You can also skip this. Heat 1 tbsp ghee in a small pan and fry the cashews until golden.
• Then add raisins and stir until they turn plump. Remove them and set aside.
• Press the saute button.
• Optional - add 1 tablespoon ghee or butter to the inner pot of the Instant pot. Fry the cashews until light golden. Then add raisins and fry for 30 seconds. Remove to a plate.
• Pour ¼ cup water to avoid burning and then pour milk.
• Then add rice & sugar to the inner pot of Instant pot.
• Mix all of them together. Secure the lid of the instant pot.
• Position the steam release handle to sealing. Next press the porridge button.
• Set the timer to 18 mins. When it is done press cancel & switch off. Wait for the pressure to release naturally.
• When the float valve drops, open the lid and add cardamom powder & rose water. Stir well.
• Rice kheer will be runny at this stage. Give a good stir.
• For a thicker consistency you cook on saute mode for a few mins until thick. It will thicken further after cooling.
• Transfer kheer to serving bowls & garnish with nuts & raisins. You can also chill the rice kheer and serve.

RICE KHEER

Steps:

• Rinse the rice until water turns clear. Then soak the rice in enough water for 20 to 30 minutes. Once 30 minutes are up, drain the rice using a colander and set aside.
• Heat a heavy bottom pan on medium heat. Then add 1 teaspoon of ghee to it and then add the soaked & drained rice. Also add 3-4 crushed green cardamom pods.
• Toss the rice with the ghee and cardamom for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly until aromatic.
• Then add the milk to the pan and stir well. Set heat to medium-high.
• Let the milk come to a boil, this will take around 10-12 minutes. Stir in between so that milk doesn't stuck to the bottom of the pan.
• Once the milk has come to a boil, lower the heat to low and let the kheer cook for around 25 minutes on low heat. Stir every 2 minutes or so. The milk will reduce considerably after 25 minutes and the kheer would look thick and the rice will be completely cooked. If you want super thick kheer, cook for 15 more minutes at this point.
• Add in the sugar and mix. Also add in the nuts.
• Cook the kheer for 5 more minutes after adding the sugar and nuts. The sugar should dissolve completely. Don't worry if your kheer doesn't look very thick at this point. It will continue to thicken as it cools down.
• Remove pan from heat. Stir in rose water (if using). Garnish with more nuts and serve kheer warm or chilled. I love mine chilled and serve it after chilling it in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 hours.

INDIAN RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• In a large nonstick saute pan over medium heat, combine the cooked rice and milk. Heat until the mixture begins to boil. Decrease the heat to low and cook at a simmer until the mixture begins to thicken, stirring frequently, approximately 5 minutes.
• Increase the heat to medium, add the heavy cream, coconut milk, sugar, and cardamom and continue to cook until the mixture just begins to thicken again, approximately 5 to 10 minutes. Use a whisk to help prevent the cardamom from clumping. Once the mixture just begins to thicken, remove from the heat and stir in the raisins and pistachios. Transfer the mixture to individual serving dishes or a glass bowl and place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

RICE PUDDING WITH CARDAMOM

Steps:

• In a saucepan, melt the butter at medium heat. Add rice, cardamom, cinnamon and stir to coat the rice. Add milk and sugar and bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and let simmer, stirring often, 25 to 30 minutes or until almost all liquid has absorbed and rice is tender. (You can prepare this step in advance, let cool and put in an hermetic container. It will be good up to the next day in the fridge). Serve the rice pudding warm, sprinkle with pistachios and honey.

INDIAN RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, bring the rice, milk, and cardamom to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly with a heat-safe spoonula to help keep the milk from burning.
• Reduce the heat so that the milk is gently simmering and cook for 45 to 50 minutes, stirring often. The rice should be tender and the milk will have reduced by half, giving a porridge-like consistency.
• Add the sugar, rosewater or vanilla, and pistachios. Stir and turn off the heat. Serve either warm or chilled, garnished with extra pistachios. Goes well with fresh fruit too.

CARDAMOM RICE PUDDING (PAYASAM)

Steps:

• Heat ghee in a 10-inch heavy skillet over medium heat until hot, then cook almonds, stirring, until golden. Add raisins and cook, stirring, until coated with ghee and slightly puffed.
• Stir almond mixture into rice pudding and serve warm.

INDIAN RICE PUDDING WITH CARDAMOM AND ROSE WATER

• Add cardamom, salt, rose water, almonds and the cornstarch mixture and simmer for 5 minutes longer or until smooth and creamy.
• Stir, then taste and adjust seasoning in necessary.
• Serve warm or refrigerate and serve cold.

CARDAMOM KHEER

Steps:

• Place the rice, spices, sugar, milk, and cream in a large saucepan and set over a medium-low heat. Bring to the boil-but watch it doesn't boil over-then turn the heat down to a whisper and cook for about 30 minutes, stirring fairly frequently to make sure the rice doesn't stick and burn. If the mixture is getting too dry, add more milk, a little at a time. When the rice is nearly done, it will start to bubble and burp more furiously and will need more attention from you. When the rice is tender (i.e. there's no chalkiness in the center), take it off the heat and spoon into a serving bowl. Allow to cool, then cover and chill in the fridge until cold.
• Just before serving, grind the remaining tablespoon of sugar, the pistachios, and edible flowers as finely as you can, using a mortar and pestle or electric spice grinder. Sprinkle over the top, and serve.
