Kheer (Rice Pudding)

Kheer (Rice Pudding)

Kheer also known as India Ricing Pudding is an easy dish to cook. All you need to do is boil milk and sugar, dry fruits can be used to add flavor. Kheer is simple yet special, it is served in households and on special occasions as well. I used basmati rice when I make kheer and it usually takes me around 45 minute to cook it well. Indians believe it is a good omen to eat something sweet before starting any task and that makes kheer really special and popular. Kheer is an important dish in various different Hindu festivals and celebrations. It is one of main dishes being served when Indian Women are fasting.



It is served as dessert during Christmas dinner within Indian Christians. A similar dessert called firni is eaten among the Muslim community in India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan.
