KHEER - INDIAN RICE PUDDING (SLOW COOKER)
From "The Indian Slow Cooker" by Anupy Singla. This recipe makes a somewhat thin rice pudding, with the delicious taste of cardamon. The slow cooker makes it easy. The original recipe called for vegetable oil, but I used ghee instead. The recipe is vegan if you use soy milk. To make half the recipe, use a 3 1/2 quart 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.
KHEER (INDIAN RICE PUDDING)
My hubby and I just love East Indian food. One of our favourite restaurants, the Taj Palace makes this and it's so good, so I had to try to make it at home. It turned out pretty darn tasty. It tends to be a bit waterier then regular rice pudding. You can double the recipe if you wish.

Steps:
- 1. Bring the sweetener, coconut and almond milks to a boil in a medium sauce pan.
- 2. Add the rice and simmer over low heat until the mixture thickens and the rice is tender. About 20 minutes.
- 3. Stir in the currants or raisins, the cardamom and rose water and cook for a few more minutes. Taste to make sure it's sweet enough for you.
- 4. Serve into pudding dishes and sprinkle with the nuts.
- 5. Enjoy!
Tips:
- For a richer, creamier kheer, use full-fat milk and cream.
- Soak the rice for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help it to cook evenly and prevent it from becoming mushy.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot to prevent the kheer from sticking and burning.
- Stir the kheer frequently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot and to ensure that it cooks evenly.
- Add nuts, dried fruits, and spices to taste. Some popular additions include almonds, pistachios, raisins, saffron, and cardamom.
- Serve kheer warm or chilled. It can be enjoyed on its own or with puri, paratha, or other Indian flatbreads.
