In India, sweets are the soul of festivals, as they convey prosperity, love, and new beginnings. Amidst all the sweets made in India, kheer made of rice is still the most favored one today. As per research, more than 70% of Indians make rice kheer for their special occasions. The taste and texture depend on the rice used.
Steps in Preparing Perfect Kheer
Step 1: Pick the Right Rice and Soak It Properly
Begin the preparation for your kheer by choosing the premium basmati rice by Oscar Basmati. Then soak the rice in water for about 20-30 minutes so that the rice gets softened.
Step 2: Cooking with Milk
The best way to make creamy kheer is by cooking it in full-fat milk and then letting it simmer for a while. But you have to make sure to keep stirring it from time to time until the milk reduces to an amount when it gets thick.
Step 3: Sweetening the Dish
Add sugar or jaggery as a sweetening agent. You can also use cardamom and mix some dry fruits too.
