Indian Sweets: Kheer (Rice Pudding) Recipe by Manjula

[bunclip]

Thank you so much Manjula Ji for sharing your superb recipes with us. When I watched this video I thought of Sujata, who made kheer for the Buddha after he had starved for 6 years. It gave him his strength back so it must be full of goodness!

[ThePokeOS]

Nice

Hello Manjula!

Thank you for your videos! I wanted to ask - can I use jaggary instead of sugar? If so which kind of jaggary? I also keep hearing I have to cook the jaggary before use?

Thank you!

[vijaydairy]

nice recipee



[rosyperu88]

This looks amazing! I saved your website to my favorites. I can't wait to try it! : ) Thank you for posting.

[hollowcaustic]

It's all about the cardamom

[sheliaann1969]

Thank you for this lovely video, I am going to try this in a couple of days. I already know how to make curry chicken, I am going to attempt Pakoras, Kheer and Navrattan Korma!

I have cardamom/ garam masala/ cumin/ corriander powder/ turmeric/ and am waiting on Ajwan seeds, I would love Saffron but it is very very expensive.

I love Indian food, I enjoy watching authentic Indian women making these dishes, it is very helpful, inspiring and informative.

Aunty Manjula

Thank you for your instructions, it was very helpfull but I added a few extras.

It tasted real good, keep up the good videos

[SuliemanTheGreat]

I LOVE INDIAN CUSINE!!!! I can never remember, which part of India has the hotter/more spicey foods? Is it the Northern or Southern regions? Thank you so much Aunty Manjula for making and sharing this video. I look forward to anything else that you upload.

[snoosiecutie]

Thank you so much Manjula! I made it and it was delicious! : )

[KittyVonHouse]

Absolutely delicious! Thank you for this recipe! Please do many more, you are a wonderful cook :)

[morpheusxnyc]

I made this last night with unsweetened vanilla almond milk instead of regular milk and it was DELICIOUS!

I added a little evaporated milk for some extra creaminess, but l could have skipped it and it would have been just as good.

The secret is the cardamom.

If you can't find it in your area, order it from a spice store online or Amazon or wherever you like. It's worth it. The true character of the dish is the cardamom. Cinnamon , vanilla, nutmeg, etc aren't even a distant substitute for it.

[baderocks2]

Hi Mam,

i would like to know how to make this exact kheer , but i want instead of the rice , to have the noodles thing. i would like to know the exact steps to make it , please.

Thank you , bader.

[dhoopkinare]

hello manjulaaunty, thanks for sharing the recipe. i followed it completely but the end result was a bit thin kheer and i noticed that at the end of boiling the milk when i added sugar suddenly the milk became quite thin and then the consistency remained thin even after boiling more...can you please help with suggestions? this also happens when i add sugar to sooji while making halwa...so basically sugar releases lots of water....

[medidi2010]

Has anyone tried this with any of the soy or almond milks out there? Will probably try with vanilla almond milk and see what I get. Thanks for this recipe. We have been trying to figure out what that wonderful dessert was that w always order at Kalanchandji's!

[9aspengold5]

This is one of our favourite desserts at our local Indian Restaurants. Thank you for sharing this easy recipe.

[duki680]

Love this recipe Thanks!

[MissBootyshakerNaomi]

I just made this using basmati rice I had accidentally overcooked a little. I had added cumin, crushed cardamom seed, cinnamon, a little salt, and a TINY bit of black pepper to my rice already, so I just added saffron and a little more cardamom to this recipe. I used about a cup of cooked rice to a cup of milk, then added some fresh milk afterward and it was delish!!! Next time, I will follow her recipe exactly though. Thank you so much for posting this and all of your other videos!

[Usagiiiiiiii]

Hey Aunty-jee, Would it make a difference if I subbed half of the whole milk with condensed milk and instead of short grain sub with basmati rice?

BTW YOU'RE AWESOME!!

[Usagiiiiiiii]

[Manjulaskitchen]

[SupportTheBlind]

Thank you very much for the recipe. Just wanted to ask can I add sabudana/sago to this recipe of kheer?

[Sweetmurry]

saffron is so expensive and not available in my area... anyone know a decent site for ordering online? Thanks :)

[moewishaw]

You can also add some grated carrot, lychee, sonf and raisins to the recipe.

[anantsaraogi]

Thank you for your this! i tried it out while watching it! it turned out gr8! Can you please tell me why do we fry the rice in butter initially!

[zipape]

I'm TOTALLY gonna try making it

[tyo607]

Amazing, thanks for the video, I can't wait to try this!

[boucheron51]

Thanks for the recipe,it looks very tasty.

[WOYZECKK]

thanks for sharing, i will certainly try it out! I 've never used cardamon and safran before ...

[srishi18]

hi,did u used 1/4 uncooked rice,fried in butter n then add milk?

[Manjulaskitchen]

I used uncooked rice

[srishi18]

thank you aunty u r really nice n all ur videos as well.m a regular watcher of ur work.thank you very much!!!

[bobbyfaith]

Thanks for the recipe Manjula... Actually my wife was insisting that the rice needs to be fried before adding milk but i said no... so we confirmed this from your recipe... [:)]

Otherwise also your recipe are good to watch... like we learnt mooli and gobi paratha from it... thanks for the post.

[shleeburr]

do you have to add the cardamom??

[Manjulaskitchen]

cardamom is optional

[shleeburr]

so could you use just milk rice and sugar...would it taste the same??

[arcticwoman]

No, it won't taste the same, but it will be edible. You're definitely missing out if you don't add the cardamom/saffron and nuts.

[zenthia]

uhm.. no no it won't taste the same at all. It will just taste like bland sweet milk with chunks in it. Why would you take out the spices?

[SidAmina]

you could now find these spices in major super markets like asda and tescos if you have a asian grocery store nearby that is best as they have more variety.

[tusharmittal]

thankyou ver much i made it for my wife on karwachauth

[dianasrealestate]

Dear Manjula,

First time seeing your videos and I love what I see. I first ate Indian food a couple of years ago and will never forget the Kheer that I had. I also went to a function and the theme was Hindu with Indian appetizers. One appetizer that I also fell in love with was cilantro based and was sort of watery and spicey. Can you make this and share with us?

Thank you so much!

[sameer2121]

which butter did u use? can i use amul ghee?

[EliteXtasy]

Kheer is suppose to be much thicker.

[markdksc]

I was thinking that for a moment but I trust Manjula. Have you seen her Vegetable cutlet video? IT RULES!

p.s. this would be good with raisins too, eh?

[moewishaw]

yeh you can add raisins too, its nice.

[zenthia]

I always put raisins in my Kheer and it's delicious :)

[trulyd123]

she did say that it will get much thicker as it cools.

[ajoann23]

Hi, i just started watching alot of your videos and everything looks so good!!!I want to try some of your recipes, but where can i find the indian spices?

[zenthia]

if you have a whole foods store (hippy market) they usually have a rack of spices in big jars where you just spoon our how much you want, is the most affordable way to get certain things like cardamon pods, saffron, cardamon powder, etc

[catgirl1016]

I love your videos and recipes. I will try more of your recipes.

[bluebells212]

thanks auntie love your cooking your food is great can i ask you something can you make cake

[olakids]

I love to cook and always have.I finally started to write down my recipes for a cookbook, to be published later in my life.When is your cook book coming out?

[praveensoora]

hi aunty, thank you for a wonderful recipe, but are you sure that the rice will be cooked in milk, coz what i know is first cook the rice in water and when its almost done, add milk..

please clarify..

also, is it Arborio rice that you used?

[Manjulaskitchen]

you can use practically any rice, rice will be cooked in milk I think that tast batter then adding the milk in water cooked rice.

[peacelily2025]

As usual, Manjulaji, you have posted a recipe that is dear to my heart! So easy to make too! A newbie at cooking would have a field day with your recipes as they are so easy to follow and so simple - yet amazing tasting! Thank you!

[fyshy1]

Yum!!!!

[orchidmkb]

I was first introduced to Kheer by a friend in grad school - thank you soooo much for the post. mmmmmmm

[mrsbudak]

Manjula is a vegetarian.

[tekobari]

I'm Spanish (born in US) and this pudding is almost exactly like the one my grandmother used to make. Instead of cardamom, she used cinnamon, and no nuts. Otherwise, it's the same.

Thank you so much for giving this recipe. Now I can duplicate my abuelita's pudding.

I love all of your videos. The food is excellent, healthful and easy to cook. You're great.

[toog1959]

thanks for doing this one it is a favourite of mine. is this the same base that they put vermicilli noodles into sometimes as well or is that a different recipe. Nita Australia.

[Manjulaskitchen]

yes you can make vermicilli noodles same

[adamp108]

these are all vegetarian recipes

[StevieNicksFan]

what would be the amount of everything if I upped the servings to about 8?

and is there anyhting I can use to substitute the Safron and Cardonum?

[RioTDollTV]

Just double everything to keep the ratios

[Twinman2]

If you skip these two key ingredients you end up with regular rice pudding. The saffron and cardamom give the essence of kheer.

[mehedmb]

Hooray! This is my favorite Indian dish ever. Thank you for sharing your version, Aunty!

[Himankz]

Thank-you aunty, I am going too try this!

[Smile85000]

Thank You :)

[mukeshkjain]

Wow....I made this today and it was great. My wife just loved how it tasted and sweetness of this dish. Keep up the great work and you should go world wide!

[bestiaccia]

It looks delicious!

[sfg078]

looks very delicious! thank you for the recipe!
