Rice kheer recipe a popular rich and creamy dessert you can make for festivals or any occasions at home.Usually rice kheer is made with basmati rice or raw rice.Last time I tried with basmati rice so this time wanted to try with raw rice and the kheer came out so delicious.

With less ingredients you can make this rich kheer but it takes time to get cooked as milk has to reduce and rice has to cook and yes its all worth the effort , do try this and let me know!

Actually I planned to make this rice kheer to post for Holi special with video but when I was shooting the video midway my induction went off and I couldn’t complete the video so went ahead with steps and main pics alone.I will surely update the video by next week.
