Rich Vegan Kheer Indian Rice Pudding Recipes

RICH VEGAN KHEER (INDIAN RICE PUDDING)

Steps:

• Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Pour rice milk over the rice. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until mixture thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
• Increase heat to medium and add coconut milk, soy creamer, sugar, and cardamom. Bring back to a boil. Reduce heat to low once again and simmer until thickened, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Remove from heat and stir in raisins and pistachios. Adjust flavoring and sugar to desired strength and serve hot or cold.

INDIAN RICE PUDDING (KHEER)

Steps:

• Put the saffron strands in a small bowl and soak in 2-3 tbsp of warm water. Bruise the stems with the back of a teaspoon - this will help release the flavour and colour.
• Heat the milk with the pierced green cardamom pods in a sturdy pan. When it comes to the boiling point, scatter the rice into the milk, turn the heat to low and simmer until the rice has broken down and is really soft, about 40 mins. Stir often to prevent the rice scorching on the bottom of the pan.
• Add the sugar to the cooked rice and heat until dissolved. You can scoop out the cardamom pods, if you like.
• Stir in the cream and gradually add the rosewater and enough saffron and its soaking liquid to lightly flavour the kheer. Stir in the shredded almonds and drained raisins and serve either piping hot or chilled.

KHEER (INDIAN RICE PUDDING)

Steps:

• Wash the rice and boil in the water over medium heat for 5 to 6 minutes, until the rice is one quarter done. Drain in a colander.
• In a saucepan, bring the almond milk and cardamom pods to a boil over medium heat. Add the rice and cook for 30 to 40 minutes, until the rice is soft and the milk is very thick. Stir occasionally at first and then constantly when the milk begins to thicken, to prevent the ingredients from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
• Add the sugar or honey (if you are not making a fully vegan version), almonds, ground cardamom, and nutmeg and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
• Remove from the heat and set aside. Sprinkle with the rose water and mix, you may add more rose water if you desire.
• Serve warm or chilled in dessert bowls.
