Best 10 Indian Rice Pudding Recipes

INDIAN RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• In a large nonstick saute pan over medium heat, combine the cooked rice and milk. Heat until the mixture begins to boil. Decrease the heat to low and cook at a simmer until the mixture begins to thicken, stirring frequently, approximately 5 minutes.
• Increase the heat to medium, add the heavy cream, coconut milk, sugar, and cardamom and continue to cook until the mixture just begins to thicken again, approximately 5 to 10 minutes. Use a whisk to help prevent the cardamom from clumping. Once the mixture just begins to thicken, remove from the heat and stir in the raisins and pistachios. Transfer the mixture to individual serving dishes or a glass bowl and place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

KHEER - INDIAN RICE PUDDING (SLOW COOKER)

Steps:

• Coat the bottom and sides of a 5 quart slow cooker with vegetable oil.
• Put the rice, sugar, cardamon seeds, raisins and milk in the slow cooker. If using agave nectar, add it towards the end, as it will make the dish pinkish-brown in color. Note: I used only half of the cardamon seeds and that was plenty flavorful for me.
• Cook on HIGH for 3 hours, stirring once or twice. Be careful not to let it overcook, as the milk will separate. (I found mine a bit too thin at the end of three hours and cooked another 30 minutes with the top off, but I have an old slow cooker).
• Sprinkle with chopped nuts and serve, hot or cold. It will thicken as it cools.

INDIAN RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, bring the rice, milk, and cardamom to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly with a heat-safe spoonula to help keep the milk from burning.
• Reduce the heat so that the milk is gently simmering and cook for 45 to 50 minutes, stirring often. The rice should be tender and the milk will have reduced by half, giving a porridge-like consistency.
• Add the sugar, rosewater or vanilla, and pistachios. Stir and turn off the heat. Serve either warm or chilled, garnished with extra pistachios. Goes well with fresh fruit too.

INDIAN RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• In a large nonstick sauté pan over medium heat, combine cooked rice and whole milk. Heat until mixture begins to boil.
• Decrease heat to low and cook to a simmer, stirring frequently, until mixture begins to thicken, approximately 5 minutes.
• Increase heat to medium, add heavy cream, coconut milk, sugar, and cardamom. Continue to cook until mixture just begins to thicken again, approximately 5-10 minutes. Use a whisk to prevent the cardamom from clumping.
• Once mixture begins to thicken, remove from heat and stir in raisins and pistachios.
• Transfer the mixture to individual serving dishes or a glass bowl and place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding.
• Serve chilled or at room temperature.
• Note: The mixture may not seem thick enough when you remove it from the heat, but once you add the raisins and pistachios and chill, it will get nice and creamy. I like my rice pudding a little sweet, so I also added a little bit more sugar than the 2 oz. called for in the recipe to suit my personal taste.

SLOW-COOKER INDIAN RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Coat the bottom & sides of slow cooker with a thin layer of oil.
• Put the rice, sugar, cardamom, raisins & milk in the slow cooker. If you are using agave nectar, Anupy Singla recommend adding it toward the end, as adding early makes the dish pinkish-brown in color. She added it will be delicious either way.
• Cook on high for 3 hrs, stirring once or twice. Be careful not to overcook or the milk will separate. If there is browned milk caked on the sides of the slow cooker, scrape it out w/a spoon & discard before serving. Sprinkle chopped almonds or pistachios across the top & serve hot or cold.

Garnish each serving with remaining pistachios.
