Instructions

Prepare the Rice

Rinse 1/2 cup brown rice thoroughly and soak in water for at least 30 minutes.

Cook the Kheer

In a deep pan, bring 4 cups of whole milk to a boil. Add the soaked rice and stir well. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring frequently, until the rice is cooked through and soft (about 20-25 minutes).

Add Flavor and Sweetness

Stir in the cherry crush and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Add the sweetened condensed milk and stir gently. Add sugar, if needed, to adjust sweetness. Cook for 2 minutes more, stirring occasionally.

Finish and Serve

Remove from heat and stir in the cardamom powder. Garnish with sliced almonds and raisins. Serve warm or chilled.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Perfect Cherry & Nut Brown Rice Kheer

For a richer flavor, use full-fat milk and toast the almonds lightly before adding them as a garnish.
If you prefer a smoother kheer, blend a portion of the cooked kheer before adding the condensed milk. This will create a creamier texture.
Feel free to experiment with other dried fruits like chopped apricots or cranberries to add extra flavor and color.
To enhance the cherry flavor, you can add a teaspoon of cherry extract along with the cherry crush.
