Ingredients

  • 1 litre Full Fat Milk
  • ½ cup Basmati Rice
  • 1 tablespoon Vanilla extract
  • ½ cup Sugar
  • 150 grams Dark chocolate chopped coarsely
  • Whipped Cream Roasted Halzenuts and other nuts for topping

Instructions

  • Wash the basmati rice well with water a few times. Soak it in 2 cups of water and set aside.
  • In a heavy bottomed saucepan, bring milk to a gentle simmer, making sure not to scorch the bottom. Drain the water from the rice, and add the rice to the pan.
  • Keep stirring occasionally to ensure the rice doesn't stick to the bottom or scorches it. Once the rice is cooked through, and the kheer has thickened up, about 40-45 minutes, add vanilla extract and sugar. Mix well and simmer for another 2-3 minutes.
  • Switch off the flame and mix in the chocolate. Stir well till the chocolate has melted completely. Let this cool down slightly before serving. Top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream and your favourite roasted nuts.

Notes

  1. Rice: I've used basmati rice as they are long and provide fluffier results as compared to other varieties. 
  2. Soaking: Soaking the basmati rice helps remove excess starch as well as reduces cooking time. It also makes the rice softer and fluffier, perfect for kheer. 
  3. Chocolate: I've used dark chocolate as I like the bitter and strong flavour. If you like, you can use milk or white chocolate, or even a combination of your preferred chocolate variety. 
  4. Consistency: Check the consistency before adding the chocolate. To make it more runny, stir in 1-2 tablespoons of warm water. Do not add more water after adding the chocolate as it will affect the texture.
