Kheer is a very delicious dish. It is used as desert in various parts of the world, especially Indian-subcontinent. Over the years I have cooked several different varieties of Kheer. Please see them at: http://cuisine-beyond.blogspot.com/

Scaled back to 1 cup of sugar and still much too sweet. Milk/rice ratio was perfect as it starts to thicken a little while cooking but still remains soupy.

I doubled the rice and removed the lid for the last half hour so the kheer would thicken. I served it to my South Asian culture class and they loved it. My professor from Pakistan said she couldn't have made it better herself!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I think I spent 1 entire week looking for an authentic Indian rice pudding. I was going to make another recipe from another site, but it called for less milk and I didn't want a thick pudding. I changed the recipe a bit but it turned out perfect: 1/2 cup of basmati rice, one can of coconut milk (two cups) and 6 cups of skim milk (maybe a little less) with a splash of heavy cream. I followed the times listed but mine needed more time. About 1 hour and 40 minutes total. I added 3/4 cups of sugar (because the coconut milk has some sugar already) and it came out perfect, not too sweet, but not bland either (my husband suggested using condensed milk next time, and that might be a good idea). Didn't have rose water and used 1/4 tsp of ground cardamom. Used slivered almonds, chopped unsalted pistachios and about 20 golden raisins (1/2 cup in total). This added more flavor and depth. This is a keeper. I can't stop eating it.

I halved the recipe. I only had fat free milk and some 1/2 & 1/2...so used half of each totalling 4 cups. I used level 1/2 tsp cardamom...I love that flavor. Didn't have any rose water so I used a scant 1/2 tsp vanilla...figured it couldn't hurt....it was fine. Did not soak rice per other reviewers but did cook per recipe the whole 70 minutes covered and it came out perfect!!

Do not add more rice to try to thicken this dish. Kheer is supposed to be thin and runny. I have had it at many indian restaurants, and this recipe almost identical. A little less sugar and 1/2 cup coconut milk and this would be perfect!

The milk didn't thicken for me, but the flavor was perfect. I just drained off some of the milk when serving... I added golden raisens and some slice almonds. Thanks for sharing.

This is a great basic recipe but if you're going to make this kheer, please read the other reviews!! Mostly, cut back on the milk and sugar, and rinse but don't soak the rice. I make this with full fat milk, and I also like to add a few small strips of orange peel to the mix (just personal preference). I'm not a dessert person, but I can eat kheer for lunch and dinner every couple of months.

I've been trying to find a rice pudding recipe that tastes like the rice pudding I used to get at my favorite Indian restaurants before I moved and I've been unsuccessful. Most have been too thick but this one was WAY too thin. It was like sugary milk with rice in it. The flavor was pretty good, although it was much too sweet. But the texture was just all wrong. I guess I'll keep searching.
