Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

½ cup + 1 tbsp basmati rice
1 tsp ground cardamom
½ tsp ground cinnamon
Scant ½ cup superfine sugar, plus 1 tbsp to decorate
3 cups whole milk, plus extra if needed
⅔ cup heavy cream
3 tbsp unsalted pistachios
1½ tbsp dried edible flowers (such as marigolds, roses, lavender)

Steps:

  • Place the rice, spices, sugar, milk, and cream in a large saucepan and set over a medium-low heat. Bring to the boil-but watch it doesn't boil over-then turn the heat down to a whisper and cook for about 30 minutes, stirring fairly frequently to make sure the rice doesn't stick and burn. If the mixture is getting too dry, add more milk, a little at a time. When the rice is nearly done, it will start to bubble and burp more furiously and will need more attention from you. When the rice is tender (i.e. there's no chalkiness in the center), take it off the heat and spoon into a serving bowl. Allow to cool, then cover and chill in the fridge until cold.
  • Just before serving, grind the remaining tablespoon of sugar, the pistachios, and edible flowers as finely as you can, using a mortar and pestle or electric spice grinder. Sprinkle over the top, and serve.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my kheer turned out grainy and bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

This kheer was just okay. The cardamom flavor was a bit too strong for my taste. I also found the texture to be a bit grainy.

This kheer was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The cardamom flavor was really nice, though. I might try making it again with less sugar next time.
