Here's the best recipe I ever found for Kheer, a sweet rice dessert from India.


Bring the milk and the rice to a boil.
Boil for a while, like five or ten minutes, stirring all the time. Stir well, and keep scraping the bottom of the pot so it doesn't stick.
Add cardamom, saffron, nuts, raisins, coconut and condensed milk. Allow the mixture to boil until it sets, but remember that it will get thicker as it cools down.
Finally, add a tiny splash of rose water, according to taste. Sweeten with some honey if desired.

Serve hot or cold, garnished with some coconut and a few nuts, or some sugar flowers or similar. Enjoy!

If you make too much (it's quite filling...) you can freeze it for another time.
