Ingredients
Scale
For the rice pudding (kheer)
- 3 cups whole milk
- 3 tablespoons rice, washed
- 5 tablespoons brown sugar (or adjust to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla essence
- 2 tablespoons fresh cream
For the fruit coulis
- ½ cup fresh pomegranate seeds
- ½ cup fresh blueberries
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 cup water
Instructions
Make the kheer
- Bring the milk to boil.
- Add the rice and cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally till the rice is fully cooked.
- Mash the rice slightly with a spatula, and add the sugar.
- Continue to cook till the sugar has melted and the pudding reached a semi thich consistency.
- Turn off the heat and stir in the cream & vanilla.
- Keep aside to cool (Note: the pudding will get thicker once cooled)
Make the coulis
- Bring to boil the water and sugar.
- Add the pomegranate, cover and cook on medium heat till the seeds have broken down slightly and begin to soften (unlike other fruits, pomegranate seeds take a long time to soften, so it is fine to leave them with a bite, as long as some of the pulp starts to break down).
- Add the blueberries, and continue to cook till the blueberries swell up.
- Using a spoon, mash the blueberries and some of the pomegranate seeds. Remove cover, cook till you get a jam like consistency.
- Remove from heat and cool.
- Layer the rice pudding with the fruit coulis and serve chilled.
