How to Make Kheer Indian Rice Pudding Slow Cooker

  1. Lightly grease a 5-quart slow cooker with ghee or vegan butter.
  2. Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  3. Add the rinsed rice, sugar, crushed cardamom seeds, and raisins to the slow cooker.
  4. Pour in the milk. Stir gently to combine.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours, or until the rice is cooked through and the pudding has thickened slightly. Stir gently halfway through cooking to prevent sticking.
  6. If using agave nectar, stir it in during the last 30 minutes of cooking. Note: Agave nectar may cause slight browning.
  7. Check the consistency; if it's too thin, continue cooking on low for another 30 minutes. Be careful not to overcook, or the milk may separate.
  8. Remove from slow cooker and let cool slightly before serving.
  9. Garnish with chopped nuts and serve warm or chilled.
