Khir Himalayan Rice Pudding Recipes

Steps:

• In a large pot, heat butter over low heat. Add rice and stir for 2-3 minutes.
• Pour milk into the rice mixture. Add cream and sugar; stir thoroughly. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and allow to simmer over low heat, stirring frequently, for about 20 minutes, or until the rice has softened.
• Add cardamom, coconut, raisins, and cashews; stir well. Cook for additional 15 minutes, or until the rice is cooked soft and the mixture has thickened to consistency of your liking.
• Chill the pudding overnight in refrigerator. Garnish with handful of toasted cashews.

Steps:

• Bring the coconut milk, milk and sugar to a boil in a large saucepan. Add Basmati rice, and simmer over low heat until the mixture thickens and the rice is tender, about 20 minutes.
• Stir in the raisins, cardamom and rose water, and cook for a few more minutes. Ladle into serving bowls, and garnish with almonds and pistachios.

Steps:

• Put the saffron strands in a small bowl and soak in 2-3 tbsp of warm water. Bruise the stems with the back of a teaspoon - this will help release the flavour and colour.
• Heat the milk with the pierced green cardamom pods in a sturdy pan. When it comes to the boiling point, scatter the rice into the milk, turn the heat to low and simmer until the rice has broken down and is really soft, about 40 mins. Stir often to prevent the rice scorching on the bottom of the pan.
• Add the sugar to the cooked rice and heat until dissolved. You can scoop out the cardamom pods, if you like.
• Stir in the cream and gradually add the rosewater and enough saffron and its soaking liquid to lightly flavour the kheer. Stir in the shredded almonds and drained raisins and serve either piping hot or chilled.
