Kheer -- Indian Rice Pudding
Ingredients
1/2 cup rice
2 qts milk
4 pods cardamom
1/4 cup sugar
Method
Bring the milk to a boil and simmer it until it reduces to
about 2/3 its original volume. A non-stick pan is good for
this and the milk must be stirred and watched constantly to
avoid sticking. Add the rice and simmer until the rice is
soft, approximately 15 minutes. Add the sugar (more or less
than 1/4 cup according to taste) and the cardamom. Cool and
serve.
Notes
Slivered almonds are often added to this recipe in
moderation. This version comes from Indu Gehani; she says
she cooks it by feel rather than from a recipe and that
experimentation is in order.
