Making Kheer from the Mix
Ingredients:
- 1 cup kheer mix
- 1 liter (4 cups) milk
- 1 tablespoon ghee (clarified butter) (optional)
- 1/4 cup raisins (optional)
Instructions:
- Boil the Milk:
- In a large pot, bring the milk to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom.
- Add the Kheer Mix:
- Once the milk starts boiling, add the prepared kheer mix and stir well to combine.
- Cook the Kheer:
- Reduce the heat to low and let the kheer simmer for about 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally until the rice is fully cooked and the kheer reaches your desired consistency. If using ghee and raisins, add them halfway through the cooking process.
- Serve:
- Remove from heat and let the kheer cool slightly.
- Serve warm or chilled, garnished with additional chopped nuts or saffron threads if desired.
Enjoy your delicious homemade kheer!
