Ingredients
Garnish
- Cardamom — 2 piece (ground)
Main
- sugar — 0.5 cup (whole)
- rice — 100 g (ground)
- salt (optional) (whole)
Tempering
- oil — 2 tbsp (whole)
Method
- Wash the rice well and soak it in water for 20 minutes, then drain
- Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed pan on low flame and lightly roast the drained rice for a minute to bring out its aroma
- Add water to the pan and bring it to a boil, then lower the flame and let the rice simmer, stirring occasionally so it does not stick to the bottom
- Cook the rice on low heat until it turns soft and starts to break down slightly, thickening the mixture into a kheer-like consistency
- Add the sugar and a pinch of salt, stirring well until the sugar dissolves completely and blends into the kheer
- Continue simmering on low flame, stirring often, until the kheer reaches a smooth, flowing consistency and coats the back of a spoon
- Turn off the flame and mix in crushed cardamom for flavour
- Garnish with a little more cardamom and serve the kheer warm or chilled as prasad
