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.
SLOW-COOKER INDIAN RICE PUDDING
This is the 2nd of 3 Indian recipes found in 1 of my Grandparents.com Newsletters. From The Indian Slow Cooker: 50 Healthy, Easy, Authentic Recipes by Anupy Singla, this an Indian-inspired rice pudding described as unlike any you've tried before. Flecked w/golden raisins & sprinkled w/pistachios, it's sweet (w/o being overly so) & flavored by cardamom, a spice commonly used in Indian cooking. Use a 5-qt slow cooker & serve hot or cold. This recipe yields 9 cups, but is easily halved. To make this dish in a 3 1/2-qt slow cooker, halve all ingredients & cont w/the recipe. A half recipe makes 5 cups. There are other recipes already entered for Indian rice puddings, but I didn't find any that used a slow cooker method. I allowed 10 min for ingredient prep, but there is no other real prep involved. *Enjoy!*

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.
Tips:
- Use high-quality basmati rice for the best results. Basmati rice has a long grain and a delicate flavor that is perfect for rice pudding.
- Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking to remove any starch and impurities.
- Use whole milk or a combination of whole milk and water for a richer flavor and creamier texture.
- Add sugar to taste. The amount of sugar you add will depend on your personal preference.
- Add spices such as cardamom, cinnamon, and nutmeg for a warm and fragrant flavor.
- Soak the saffron strands in warm milk for at least 30 minutes before adding them to the rice pudding. This will help to release their flavor and color.
- Cook the rice pudding on low heat for 2-3 hours, or until the rice is tender and creamy.
- Stir the rice pudding occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Serve the rice pudding warm or cold, garnished with nuts, dried fruits, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Conclusion:
Slow-cooker Indian rice pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion.
