Outstanding! I think next time, I will add a little more rose water, as the rice pudding I get at Indian restaurants usually has a stronger rose flavor.

I had to simmer at least 30-40 mins extra for it to thicken a bit. I followed the rest exactly, except for omitting the raisins due to personal preference. My kids loved it! The texture is different from what you get with long grain or arborio rice. Less creamy or fluffy. However, the fact that my kids asked for seconds and thirds means that this recipe deserves a FIVE star in my book! Very easy, thanks for sharing!

I thought it tasted much before before I added the cardamom. Perhaps, if you're expecting a more smooth/creamy dessert, add less cardamom than called for. I also added about 1/3 cup more rice and cooked it for a bit longer to make it more soft, but it was still a little hard for my liking. Overall, though, very simple, good tasting recipe!

Not my favorite. I added more rose water and cardomon, some cinnamon and a pinch of saffron threads soaked in 1 Tbsp of hot milk. However it is still missing something.

Great taste and texture! I used 3/4c rice and 14oz can of coconut milk with an equal part of regular milk and added a few green cardamom pods that were removed at the end. Followed directions as posted (only needed to simmer 20 minutes). Finished off recipe with crushed almonds and a dash of vanilla. I was a little hesitant because I don't normally like coconut but the flavor blends uniquely and subtly with the cardamom and almond. Will definitely make again.

Definitely needs to simmer for an hour, and in my opinion tastes best hot! FANTASTIC flavor!

Being a fan of traditional kheer, this recipe definitely satisfied my craving. It was actually a little thicker than I like it but I solved that by adding more milk after it had cooked. I would also use a bit less cardamom next time (1/4 tsp). Other than that, it was great combo of flavors and textures. The kheer I have is always served warm so I just heat up the left overs from this recipe and add the milk to give it a thinner consistency. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe!

This rice pudding is awesome! I think it could use a tad more sugar. I did have rose water on had (finally got to use it!) and I went ahead and stirred the almonds into the pudding, and skipped on the pistachios. I cooked it a little longer than directed because the rice didn't seem to get tender in time. If you're concerned about the fat, using light coconut milk and 2% or skim milk will cut a lot of the fat out. It still tastes amazing! Thanks for the great recipe!

Soooo good! At the suggestion of other reviewers, I added a little vanilla and cinnamon and a tiny tiny dash of almond extract. It really complemented the flavors. I will definitely be making this again. We had it with coconut curry chicken and naan from this website and everything was fantastic and went well together.

I made this for a dinner party where everyone made an indian dish. We had a couple vegans in the group so I substituted the milk w/ vanilla soy milk. I didn't have rose water so omitted that. I had to cook it for longer than the recipe called for, maybe 30-40 minutes. Everyone enjoyed it.

Wonderful recipe, have made several times and always with great results and taste. Important to cook rice uncovered to evaporate some of liquid. Be careful not to overcook rice (will still be soupy when rice becomes tender, but thickens up a lot as it cools).

I must say that I was really hoping to like this recipe much more than I did. It was creamy, but not as good as similar recipes I've had in Indian restaurants. Additionally, when I looked at the nutrition numbers (unfortunately after I'd already started making it), I was shocked to see how much fat is in one serving--33 grams!! I guess I should have looked more carefully at the nutrition label on the can of coconut milk.

Don't be put off by the texture of this pudding! Kheer is the original rice pudding, which became part of western cuisine through the British. I like this, but my husband and son didn't (too 'spicy' for them). I didn't have enough coconut milk, so I used more 1% milk than called for. The flavour is nice and somewhat creamy (would have been better and creamier with the proper proportion of coconut milk). I used a little more rose water and cardamom than stated, used sultana raisins, and added a pinch of cinnamon. Other tips: cook the rice as long as it takes for it to become porridge-like in consistency. After refrigerating the leftovers, the kheer thickens up, so you might want to add a bit of milk.

The flavor and texture are excellent. I added more rice and it came out fine, but I actually think that the amount of rice in the recipe is very appropriate. Kheer is not like the European/American rice puddings--it's meant to be more "liquidy." Mine, because I added more rice and cooked without the pot lid, came out to be more dense and firm. By the way, when the milk and rice is boiling, it tends to overflow and create a mess if you aren't watching it. I used almond extract as recommended by another reviewer, but I honestly think that the coconut flavor is strong enough.

My husband had 5 male guest from India and I made this dish for them. The guys recommendations; don't need to use coconut milk, use whole milk and not any low fat milk, need to cook a lot longer- about an hour. You can tell the rice is done when if you take a piece out and you should be able to smoosh it easily with your finger. I have more of a sweet tooth and I tried while cooking before I added the raisins and cardamom and loved it. I bet kids would like it also before the raisins, cardamom and rose water is added.
