Black Rice is a wholesome grain and is also known as forbidden grain as it lost its value due to white rice is eaten across the world. But due to its health benefits like any other brown rice, it has made a comeback. Previously I have started how to cook Black Rice (See the notes section for the detailed recipe) and today I will share how to make Black Rice kheer, which is rice pudding made from Black Rice, dates and Figs. This is a completely healthy and nutritious and guilt-free dessert which can be enjoyed after lunch or dinner. Black Rice kheer needs over-cooked black rice so let's learn how to make it.
