Samak Rice Kheer

🇮🇳 Indian

Barnyard-millet kheer for vrat days, the fasting sweet that tastes like festival. Ghee, sugar, patience — the three ingredients in every Indian celebration. Plate in petit-four pieces with tea or as prasad.

Prep 28 min Cook 48 min Serves 4 Medium

Ingredients

  • Salta pinch
  • Ghee3 tbsp
  • Milk1 litre
  • Sugar1 tsp
  • Cashews1/4 cup
  • Green Cardamom1 tsp

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prep first: nuts chopped, pans greased, trays ready — this recipe rewards organization.

  2. 2

    Combine the milk with the sugar in a heavy-bottomed pan and begin cooking over medium heat, stirring constantly.

  3. 3

    Keep going until the mass pulls away from the pan and glistens; the colour should deepen a shade.

  4. 4

    Stir in the green cardamom with the cardamom; the aroma should bloom immediately.

  5. 5

    Shape or slice once it has cooled enough to handle; it firms up as it rests.

Chef's tip

Resting the finished dish for five minutes off the heat lets the spices settle and deepen.
