Slow kheer,
lighter at the end.
Rice, milk, cardamom, and brown swap folded in late so the pudding stays creamy without a sugar-heavy finish.
— Cook along
Rinse
Wash rice until the water runs mostly clear.
Simmer
Cook rice in milk on low, stirring every few minutes.
Sweeten
Fold in brown swap after the rice softens.
Finish
Add cardamom and nuts, then rest for 10 minutes.
— The ratio
Two drops, one cup,
nothing wasted.
The sweetness that survives a proper second boil. Our by-the-cup rule keeps it simple — match it once and the kitchen remembers.
- 2 drops = 1 tsp sugar, in any cup
- 3 crystals when you like to spoon it in
- Sweeten last — off the heat, then taste
