Ways to make Almond and Rice Pudding
I have utilized Basmati Rice to make this pudding. You can involve any white-rice instead of Basmati rice. Short-grain rice functions admirably as well. I view basmati rice as more fragrant.
Wash the rice enough prior to utilizing it since it helps eliminate the surface starch and it doesn’t become mush or tacky as it cooks.
Utilizing a pestle and mortar coarsely break the rice. I do this to get a grainy surface contrasted with cushioned rice in the pudding.
Slow-cooking the pudding draws out the flavor and gives kheer its velvety surface.
Mixing is key for a decent consistency kheer, and to try not to burn utilize a weighty lined container.
