How to make Kheer
Preparation
Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for about 30 minutes, then drain.
In a heavy-bottomed pot, bring the milk to a boil over medium heat.
Add the soaked rice to the boiling milk and reduce the heat to low. Cook the rice in the milk, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
Once the rice is cooked and the mixture thickens, add the sugar and cardamom powder. Stir well until the sugar dissolves.
Add the mixed nuts and raisins, and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before serving. Kheer can be served warm or chilled.
