Chawal ki Kheer {Rice Pudding} – A Quick Recipe
I make Chawal ki Kheer {Rice Pudding} – A Quick Recipe, more often than other Indian Desserts, since I have mastered the quick and easy short cut method. The actual method of making Chawal ki Kheer {Rice Pudding} is time consuming but with promising results.
Chawal ki Kheer {Rice Pudding} – A Quick Recipe is delicious and delicately flavored dessert, enhanced with cardamom and sometimes saffron.
Chawal = Rice and Kheer = Pudding
Kheer is a sweet dish or pudding, made with milk as a base with the addition of rice and sugar, flavored with cardamom and saffron and topped with nuts. This is an absolute favorite in many households and is often prepared when it is time to celebrate anything..be it festivals or a good occasion or just to please the sweet tooth.
Every household has a different way of making Chawal ki Kheer {Rice Pudding}. I make this delicious dessert most of the time in a time and energy efficient way. And the results never disappoint me and are more than superbly delicious.
The creaminess and richness of Kheer takes me to a different planet altogether. It just melts in the mouth and every bite comforts you like no other dessert.
My mom makes the best Chawal ki Kheer {Rice Pudding}. She goes the extra 9 yards and cooks it for long hours.Mum would bring the milk to a boil and add washed raw rice to the milk and then will cook it on simmer for hours to bring out the dainty pink color and melt in the mouth texture to the kheer.
That pink blush color can only be achieved via long hours of cooking but that beautiful comforting texture can be well achieved by this quick method as well.
I lack patience when it comes to long hours of cooking. My blog is all about quick and efficient cooking, maintaining the flavors and textures.

Chawal ki Kheer {Rice Pudding} – A Quick Recipe
Ingredients
- Milk – 5 cups. I used almond milk unsweetened
- Cooked rice – 2 cups
- Cardamom powder – 1/2 tsp ground and some for garnish
- Almonds & Pistachio – 3 tbsp sliced and some for garnish
- Saffron – a loose fat pinch of saffron strands soaked in warm milk for 5 minutes at least
- Sugar : 1/4 cup or more to your taste.
- Silver edible foil - for garnish option.
Instructions
- Take a fork and break down the cooked rice into smaller grain size. This will help in releasing the starch from cooked rice quicker ad helps thickening faster.
- Boil milk and rice in a heavy bottom pan. After one boil, simmer and cook for 20 minutes stirring often in between to avoid burning at the bottom. When you stir, press and break the rice further.
- Now add cardamom powder, sliced almonds, saffron and sugar. Simmer for another 5-7 minutes, till the mixture becomes thicker in consistency and you see more of rice than the milk. Stir often.
- Take it off the heat. Garnish with silver edible foil, chopped nuts and cardamom powder. If you are applying the silver foil, apply it while the kheer is still hot or else it won't stick.
- In summers, Cool and eat. In winters, eat it warm.
