Kheer rice pudding is a sweet and intense pudding-style dish that is extremely popular on the Indian subcontinent. It is an exceptionally aromatic dish based on milk and rice, with additions like clarified butter and saffron. Saffron is a rather hard-to-find and expensive spice, so in my recipe, I have substituted it with indispensable turmeric.
Kheer (also called khir and payasam) was something we tried entirely by chance during a visit to a random Indian restaurant in Malaysia-we are so glad we let ourselves be persuaded to try it, and thanks to that, we could create this recipe inspired by it...
Rice is a source of carbohydrates, fiber, B vitamins, manganese, copper, magnesium and selenium.

Ingredients
Method
- Thoroughly rinse the rice in a kitchen sieve under running cold water or place it in a bowl and repeatedly fill with water, stir, and pour off until the water is no longer cloudy. Drain.
- Finely chop the raisins and nuts.
- In a saucepan, heat the butter. After a moment, add the rice. Fry until lightly golden, about 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Then pour in the milk. Bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat and add a pinch of turmeric. Stir. Cook on low heat, covered, for about 30 minutes. Stir occasionally and watch to ensure the pudding does not burn. If necessary, add a little water during cooking.
- When the rice is soft, and the amount of milk has reduced by about half-add the sweetener, raisins, and nuts. Mix thoroughly. Cook for about 5-10 more minutes.
- Transfer to a bowl. Eat warm or cold (as kheer cools, it should thicken).
