NOTES/TIPS : After you add jaggery, mix well and then switch off the flame immediately. Do not overcook as it tends to curdle the milk. Once the kheer is cooled down, it tends to thicken. You can add milk accordingly to get the consistency as desired by you. Brown rice takes a little more time to cook. Ensure that the rice is fully cooked before adding jaggery to it.
