Kheer - Indian Rice Pudding (Slow Cooker) image

From "The Indian Slow Cooker" by Anupy Singla. This recipe makes a somewhat thin rice pudding, with the delicious taste of cardamon. The slow cooker makes it easy. The original recipe called for vegetable oil, but I used ghee instead. The recipe is vegan if you use soy milk. To make half the recipe, use a 3 1/2 quart slow cooker.

Time 3h10m

Yield 9 cups, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 cup white basmati rice, washed and drained
1/4-1/2 cup sugar or 1/4-1/2 cup agave nectar
1 teaspoon green cardamom seed, lightly crushed
1/2 cup golden raisin
8 cups milk or 8 cups soymilk
2 tablespoons finely chopped almonds or 2 tablespoons pistachios

Steps:

  • Coat the bottom and sides of a 5 quart slow cooker with vegetable oil.
  • Put the rice, sugar, cardamon seeds, raisins and milk in the slow cooker. If using agave nectar, add it towards the end, as it will make the dish pinkish-brown in color. Note: I used only half of the cardamon seeds and that was plenty flavorful for me.
  • Cook on HIGH for 3 hours, stirring once or twice. Be careful not to let it overcook, as the milk will separate. (I found mine a bit too thin at the end of three hours and cooked another 30 minutes with the top off, but I have an old slow cooker).
  • Sprinkle with chopped nuts and serve, hot or cold. It will thicken as it cools.
