  • Add drained rice and begin to cook on a medium flame until the rice is soft, completely cooked and lightly mushy.
  • Add sugar, stir and continue to cook until the Kheer turns thick. Keep stirring in between to prevent burning.
  • Add cardamom powder and nuts. Stir and continue to cook for 5 minutes.
