In this article, I’ll share how to prepare rice kheer.
What is Kheer
Kheer is Indian rice pudding made with only three basic ingredients- rice, milk and sugar. And I think that’s the reason it is so commonly made in India because the basic ingredients are so readily available everywhere.
In India when we use the word kheer, we are usually referring to the kheer made with rice. In South Indian cuisine rice pudding is called as rice payasam. Rice payasam can be made both with milk and coconut milk.
