Why dont u keep in the cooker so that you will not be facing the above said prob., and also the taste will be equal to the condensed milk flavor.
for ex., for rice kheer, fry the rice and grind them like rava. Take sufficient qty. of milk, add rice, keep in the cooker for 4 whistles and sim the gas for 20 to 25 mts. The more time, the better taste. Take the vessel out, add sugar and wait till it gets dissolved fully and add cardamom powder, fried nuts and raisins. Keep the flame on medium. After 20 mts, switch the gas off.
You can try even vermicelli kheer in the above method. this will never ever fool you and all my folks love this.
Carrot kheer is also very easy to make, if u need will post u. Bye
When you say 'cooker' do you mean a crock pot?
Will the milk thicken in a crock pot?
Thanks!!!!
Dear Sarah,
A cooker is a pressure cooker!! the most popular and used item in an Indian kitchen!
Do not use homogenised milk, if possible.
Why don't you try using the oven, like for a rice pudding? (no egg)
Do time it and see how long it takes.
A delicious and healthier variation is to add peeled tangerine segments to thickened sweetened milk spiced with cardamom, saffron, cinnamon or nutmeg. Ummmmm! Don't cook the fruit!
You could experment with other fruit - strawberries, any berries, banana, grapes, apples, cherries, any fruit in season.
Fruit like pineapple will make it watery so add at the last moment.
oh, ok! I will try that (I hadn't even thought of the pressure cooker!)
Thanks!
Fool Proof Kheer recipe (for the folks in US)
1 gallon whole milk
1 pint Half and half
1 box - cream of Rice
4 cups sugar
1 lb Ricotta cheese
a pinch of cardomon powder
a pat of butter
sliced almonds, to garnish
Heat the milk and half and half in a thick base pot (not a steel one, at it burns). Hint, never heat the pot without milk, always add the milk to a cold pot. Add the butter, it will further help avoid the burning.
Dissolve the cream of rice in cold milk and add to the pot of bioling milk. Cook until rice is cooked. Finally, add the ricotta cheese ( add some cold milk to it too, to dissolve it, and not form lumps). Add sugar and cardomon powder. Garnish with sliced almonds when cold.
Always turn off the heat while the kheer is still runny. The sugar thickens once it gets cold. This avoids a lumpy/pasty kheer.
Hello Sarah!
Nothing beats a good creamy rice kheer. Ummmm!
Perfectly sweetened - and served chilled ofcourse. Purists may disagree, KHEER should be served warm they would state.
Not to be confused witha Rice pudding or any of its close relatives, a kheer is one of the simplest desserts to make in an Indian kitchen.
My recipe and I love it:
For every litre of whole milk - use 50 gms of rice. sugar to taste and a few crushed pods of cardamom.
Soak rice in water for 20 minutes. Heat the milk in a heavy bottom pot - PREFERABLY STEEL - Bring it to a boil and add the drained washed rice. Keep stirring, occassionally. Cook till rice has cooked and the kheer has thickened. Add sugar, stir and leave it on the stoce for a few minutes. Sprinkle freshly made cardamom powder. Some may use strands of saffron. Personally I prefer the cardamom.
And why should your kheer burn? - If you could get the milk to boil without sticking at the bottom, your kheer should not burn - actually never.
You may also drain, dry and crush the rice. Some powder it and its called Phirnee. Though Phirnee is more thicker and set in clay bowls, garnished with sliced pistachios.
Personally I prefer the soaked, sauteed raisins in the kheer and a few cashewnuts for the crunchy feeling.
I finally got it to turn out ! I used the microwave, cooked the milk down a bit, then added the rice and cooked until the rice is tender and the milk thick. Then I add the sugar, nuts, cardamom....it works!
Thanks everyone!!!!!
