Perfect, I like it a little thicker so I use a little more rice if it’s too thick you can thin out with by adding a little more coconut milk or half & half

YUM! I used 5 carcamom pods crushed lightly instead plus replaced the sugar with Monk Sugar and it tastes exactly like at our favourite restaurant. Thank you!

Was a tad sweeter than I remembered but that’s just me I guess…read in the comments that it’s supposed to be a bit soupy again I had it an American chain so, not the best comparison
Christopher James
Great recipe. I doubled the cardamon. No other changes required. Unfortunately, I didn’t have rose water on hand. I’ll use it next time.

Love, love, love this recipe. I’ve been using it for years and it never gets old for my kids.

First timer’s tip on this one: Make it first and chill it right away. I timed it to be done after the rest of dinner but people ate more slowly and talked, etc. By the time we got to it, after leaving it to cool slowly, the rice soaked up all the liquid and it was much firmer than desired. The flavor was awesome, though.

used less sugar. less cardamon – a mistake

Made this with vanilla oat milk in place of the milk. It was the final course of a 4 course Indian dinner I made for my wife and 2 friends. It was a huge hit! How do I know? Everyone wanted seconds AND the recipe!
Mr. Joel Johnson DDS
very good recipe, made without rose water
Tricia Campbell
Loved it! I don’t think I’ll toast the almonds next time or toast them more lightly is all. Very tasty and all six of us loved it. I even made extra and had some for breakfast hehe

I didn’t add sugar but did use coconut milk. I also used leftover basmati rice. Didn’t have any but slivers. Used Rose water. On a sailboat you have to use what you have and can find. This recipe was a good basis for that. I would definitely make this again!
Valerie Dawson
I made it with already cooked left over rice. It was great.
Amy Jones
Pretty good recipe. I omitted the coconut milk (didn’t have any on hand), put in another cup of milk halfway through ( original consistency was too much like pudding), added a bit more cardamom and let simmer for 1 hour.
Adam Mitchell
I had to simmer it for almost 45 min, and added an Tbl sugar.
James Green
Much easier than I thought it would be. Very g
Mark Hall
I like it a little sweeter, less cardamom, and wihout almonds. recipe should say to serve chilled.
Christina Grant
Loved it! I didn’t have coconut milk so just used whole milk & added unsweetened shredded coconut. Fantastic! Cook time is closer to 40 min.
George Torres
Delicious and my husband loved it. I just used whole milk, no coconut milk, and I left out the raisins and almonds. We are it warm, which is my preference, but I saved some in the refrigerator to try it cold as well. Next time I’ll use less sugar, as it was sweeter than we expected.
Douglas Mitchell
i love this recipe
Stephen Butler
Good recipe. I added 1/4 cup more rice and doubled the sugar because I like my kheer sweeter. I used diabetic sugar (stevia).
Lee Fields
It turned out well. I thought the rice took long to cook and was still slightly too hard for my liking. Next time I am going to cook the rice in the rice cooker and add it to the milk mixture.
