🇮🇳 India recipe

Kheer

Kheer is India's most ancient and revered dessert, a slow-simmered rice pudding that appears in celebrations, temple offerings, and festive meals across the subcontinent. Basmati rice is gently cooked in full-fat milk that reduces to a thick, creamy consistency, then perfumed with cardamom and saffron and studded with nuts and raisins.
