Ingredients: 2 quarts fresh, whole milk 1/2 cup long-grain white rice (basmati is best) 3/4 cup granulated sugar 1/4 cup whole milk powder (this helps to thicken the kheer) 1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom 1 pinch saffron (optional)
Directions: Heat the milk in a deep pot while stirring constantly. Use only medium heat or it will very likely burn! When the milk comes to a boil add the (washed) rice. Continue stirring.
When the milk starts to noticeably thicken, add the milk powder. Keep stirring. Check the rice after about 20 minutes. When it seems fully cooked (tender to the bite), add the sugar. Cook for another 10 minutes (with constant stirring). The milk should be quite obviously thickened by this time.
Mix in the cardamom and saffron. Remove from heat. The kheer will thicken as it cools. You may serve it warm, at room temp, or chilled, however you prefer (try it all three ways!).
