Kheer is a traditional Indian rice pudding flavoured with cardamom and nutmeg.
Ingredients:
1l milk
500ml water
250g sort-grain rice (or 125g rice and 125g sago)
2 cardamom seeds, crushed
generous pinch of ground nutmeg
1 tbsp sultanas
150g sugar
1 tbsp ghee (clarified butter)
6 blanchedalmonds; toasted and chopped
3 cloves
Method:
In a large pan add the rice and water. Bring to a boil and turn down to a gentle simmer. Cook until most of the water has been absorbed and the rice is mushy. Add the milk and cook for a further five minutes, stirring frequently then add the almonds, sultanas and sugar. You are looking for a custardy consistency here. If the kheer is too thin cook further, if too thick add more milk.
Remove the kheer from the heat and add the crushed cardamom seeds and ground nutmeg. Meanwhile heat the ghee in a small pan and add the cloves. When they begin to bulge or pop remove from the heat and add the ghee and cloves to the kheer. Mix well and serve.
