How to cook rice pudding or Kheer
- Now, put the milk in a heavy bottom pot to boil. After the milk boils, extract the rice from water and add the soaked rice to the milk.
- Now cook the rice on low flame till the milk thickens.
- Keep stirring occasionally. Otherwise, the milk will stick to the bottom of the vessel.
- Once the rice is cooked well, add cardamom powder, chopped cashews, and almonds. Also, add the saffron milk in it.
