Instructions

Preparing the Sama Rice Kheer

In a heavy-bottomed pan, bring the full-fat milk to a boil over medium heat.

Cooking the Sama Rice

Once boiling, add the soaked sama rice, reduce heat to low-medium, and stir occasionally. Continue cooking until the rice is tender and the milk has thickened, about 15-20 minutes.

Sweetening and Flavoring

Stir in the sugar and continue cooking for another 5 minutes, until the sugar dissolves completely. Add the soaked saffron strands (if using) and kewra essence. Mix well and remove from heat.

Serving the Kheer

Transfer the kheer to a serving bowl. Garnish with half of the chopped cashews, almonds, and raisins. Let it cool slightly before serving warm or chilled. Garnish with remaining nuts and raisins before serving.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Perfect Sama Rice Kheer

For a richer flavor, use full-fat milk and simmer the kheer gently.
Soaking the sama rice beforehand helps it cook evenly and prevents it from becoming mushy.
Adjust the sugar quantity according to your preference. You can add a pinch of cardamom powder for a subtle warmth.
Feel free to experiment with other nuts and dried fruits to personalize your kheer.
