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."
- Ready In:
- 3hrs 10mins
- Ingredients:
- 7
- Yields:
-
9 cups
- Serves:
- 12
ingredients
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 1 cup white basmati rice, washed and drained
- 1⁄4 - 1⁄2 cup sugar or 1/4-1/2 cup agave nectar
- 1 teaspoon green cardamom seed, lightly crushed
- 1⁄2 cup golden raisin
- 8 cups milk or 8 cups soymilk
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped almonds or 2 tablespoons pistachios
directions
- 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.

I made this yesterday for DH who loves rice pudding. While he said that it wasn't his all time favorite (he would have liked cinnamon and a lot more raisins) he managed to dispatch a mighty big bowl of it with no difficulty. I didn't have any because I used real sugar in it but the aroma was lovely and ease of preparation is unbeatable. I'll use this recipe again but swap cinnamon for the cardamom as I really make rice pudding for him. -
Very good and different from the usual rice pudding, however I think this will also be great as breakfast served cold. Thanks for sharing!

My screen name is a diminutive in Lithuanian for bread, so you won't be suprised to learn that I love to bake bread. In recent years I have been baking a lot of sourdough breads and have several starters sitting in my refrigerator. But I like to cook a lot of other things, as well, especially from various cultures. The cat wishes I would concentrate on meat and fish... I joined a few years ago but started posting recipes and participating in forums just recently - I wish I had done so earlier. Recipezaar is a great community! Right now I am a co-host for the Breads and Baking and the Eastern Europe forums - I hope to see you there!
