🥘 Step-by-Step Method (Rice Kheer Recipe)
Step 1 – Rice dhona
Rice ko 2–3 baar paani se wash karke 15 min soaking ke liye rakh dein. Soaking se rice jaldi cook hota hai aur mash ho kar creamy texture banata hai.
Step 2 – Milk boil karna
Heavy bottom pan mein full fat milk boil karna start karein.
Slow flame rakhe—kyunki slow cooking hi “authentic kheer texture” banati hai.
Step 3 – Rice add karna
Jab milk boil ho jaaye, soaked rice add karein.
Phir continuously halki flame par 30–35 minutes cook karein.
Important:
Beech beech mein stir karte rahein taaki milk bottom mein lag ke jal na jaaye.
Step 4 – Sugar add karein
Rice soft ho jaaye, tab sugar add karein.
Note: Rice se pehle sugar mat daalna, nahi toh rice hard ho jaata hai.
Step 5 – Elaichi & dry fruits
Ab elaichi, ghee aur chopped dry fruits add kar dein.
Is stage par agar aap saffron add karna chahte hain, warm milk mein soak karke daalein.
Step 6 – Final cooking
Kheer ko flame low karke 10–15 minutes aur cook hone dein.
Jaise hi texture thick ho jaaye—it’s ready!
Serve it hot, warm or chilled—tino tarike se kheer heavenly lagti hai 😋
