Kheer was derived from the Sanksrit word kshirika (a dish prepared with milk), not as a rice pudding but a sweet preparation of milk and jowar. Back then using millets in pudding was quite common.
Gradually kheer using rice became popular which got many names as it travels across India. But the real popularity of kheer was accounted to its religious association during festivals and celebrations at temple. The Persians, who introduced firni in India were the first ones to introduce dry fruits,rose water in it. Indian version has always the use of spice like cinnamon or cardamom. There is another version of it called payasam, which is thicker and richer than the kheer.
