How to Make Sweet Rice Pudding
- Rinse 1 cup of basmati rice in a medium bowl until the water runs clear (7-8 rinses).
- Soak the rinsed rice in 2 cups of cold water for 30 minutes.
- Drain the soaked rice and set aside.
- In a 6-8 quart pan, heat 4 cups whole milk over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently to prevent scorching (10-12 minutes).
- Add the drained rice to the boiling milk. Return to a boil (1-2 minutes).
- Reduce heat to low, simmer uncovered, stirring frequently and occasionally mashing the rice with a whisk, for 30-35 minutes, or until the rice is tender and most of the milk is absorbed.
- Stir in 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cardamom.
- Pour the kheer into a heatproof bowl, let cool for 10-15 minutes.
- Cover and refrigerate completely (at least 2 hours).
- Garnish with 1/4 cup chopped pistachios, 1/4 cup raisins, and 1/4 cup sliced almonds before serving.
