Preparation
1. Rinse the Rice
Thoroughly rinse 1 cup of basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch.
2. Soak the Rice
Soak the rinsed rice in water for at least 30 minutes. This helps the rice cook evenly.
Cooking
3. Cook the Rice
In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups of whole milk to a boil over medium heat. Add the soaked and drained rice to the boiling milk.
4. Add Sugar and Cardamom
Stir in 3 tablespoons of sugar and the crushed cardamom pods. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer, stirring occasionally.
5. Simmer the Kheer
Cook the mixture for about 30-40 minutes or until the rice becomes soft and the kheer thickens to your desired consistency.
6. Prepare the Garnish
In a small pan, lightly toast the chopped almonds, cashews, and raisins until golden brown. This enhances their flavor.
7. Serve the Kheer
Once the kheer is done, remove it from the heat. Let it cool slightly before serving. Top with the toasted nuts and raisins.
