Kheer is a traditional, rich, and creamy Indian classic dessert recipe made with rice and milk. It is generally made for festival celebrations or for any occasion feast. In this recipe, I cook rice in a pressure cooker which helps to make kheer quickly. Do try this simple and easy kheer recipe with all basic ingredients in your kitchen.
The key to making creamy kheer at home are:
- Firstly, I choose short rice grains for this kheer recipe. hence it is better to use khichadiya or any other small grain rice. Avoid basmati rice for this recipe if possible.
- In this recipe, I cook rice in a pressure cooker which helps to make kheer quickly.
- use full cream milk as it would result in more creamy and rice kheer.
- use a heavy-bottomed pan or nonstick pan to prepare this recipe. Otherwise, milk may cream may stick to the bottom and you may have a burnt smell.
- chilled kheer for a minimum of 1 hrs before serving.
