Instructions
- Wash and soak rice in fresh water for 3-4 hours before cooking.
- In a thick bottomed pan, heat milk and boil till it starts reducing and look light cream in color.
- Add soaked black rice and cook in medium to low flames till rice is 90% cooked. Keep stirring in regular intervals and also scrap the cream from sides and add into the kheer, this will make it more creamy.
- The kheer will start turning purple in color, that is because of the rice.
- Once the milk is thick and creamy and the rice is almost done, add sugar and cardamom powder and stir well.
- After adding sugar, the milk will slightly look diluted, but it will thicken again in few minutes.
- Cook till the kheer is creamy in texture. Turn off the gas, remove from stove and add fried or ghee roasted cashew pieces on top. Give a quick mix.
