ABOUT Quick Recipe for Rice Kheer By Using Leftover Rice RECIPE

I loved it not because it’s simple and quick but for the reason I can use my cooked rice! Seeing pot of plain cooked rice in the refrigerator after the special dinner ….I know exactly how it feels! At times we can use it but sometimes we don’t want to have that same old thing from yesterday. Personally I don’t like leftover rice because it becomes clumsy and secondly, wasted leftovers always make me sad and I always aim to minimize them as much as possible. And yes who doesn’t like kheer??? So this recipe by mom is a perfect way to use leftover. Hurrah for delicious rice kheer and double hurrah for no more leftover rice!

Ingredients Serving: 4

1/2 cup cooked basmati rice (plain leftover rice)
4 cups milk
4 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoon coarsely ground almonds
½ teaspoon cardamom powder
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon powder (optional)
2 tablespoon chopped cashews
Few saffron strands

Instructions

Soak few saffron strands in 2 tablespoon of milk and keep aside.
Combine rice, milk and sugar in large saucepan. Cook on medium heat, stirring constantly, for 5-7 minutes.
Add cardamom powder and cinnamon powder.(Here in this recipe I have not used cinnamon powder)
Reduce the heat and cook the mixture for 15 minutes or till it thickens. Stir occasionally.
After it reaches the desired consistency add chopped cashews and almonds.
Remove from the heat and add saffron-milk mixture to the kheer and mix well.
Let it cool at room temperature or chill for sometime in refrigerator before serving.
Garnish with some nuts and saffron strands and serve a perfect dessert out of left over.
