Description
A quick, creamy dessert with warming spices is great to serve many unexpected guests.
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole milk
- 6 tablespoons white Basmati rice
- 3 green cardamoms, crushed
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 6–8 pitted dates, hydrated & chopped
- 8–10 pieces of white chocolate
Instructions
- In a deep-bottomed pan, bring to boil the milk, cardamom & sugar. Once boiled, add the rice and cook on medium low flame so the mixture is just simmering.
- Continue to cook till the rice is soft and fully cooked.
- Turn heat to high and give it another boil to slightly thicken the kheer. [PS-At this stage, it’s already a delicious pudding and can be eaten as is. But the next step just adds a creamy twist to it..].
- Discard any cardamom skin, and stir in the dates & white chocolate. Mix well till the chocolate is fully melted.
- Chill for 2 hours & serve with a dash of cinnamon & caramel
