Cardamom Kheer Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Bring the coconut milk, milk and sugar to a boil in a large saucepan. Add Basmati rice, and simmer over low heat until the mixture thickens and the rice is tender, about 20 minutes.
• Stir in the raisins, cardamom and rose water, and cook for a few more minutes. Ladle into serving bowls, and garnish with almonds and pistachios.

Steps:

• Boil in the water over medium heat for 5 to 6 minutes, until the rice is one quarter done. Drain in a colander.
• In a saucepan, bring the milk and cardamom pods to a boil over medium heat. Add the rice and reduce heat to a low simmer. Cook for 30 to 40 minutes, until the rice is soft and the milk is very thick. Keep stifring to incorporate the starch from the rice into the milk and to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
• Add the sugar, almonds, ground cardamom, and nutmeg and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
• Remove from the heat. Sprinkle with the rose water.
• Serve warm or chilled in dessert bowls.
