How to make Kheer Recipe – Rice Pudding Recipe

Kheer is traditional dessert in India and Pakistan. It is immensely popular and it is often used in festivals, customs, and religious occasions. It is a custom in many families that when a newly wed bride enters the kitchen of her new home, the first dish she prepares is Kheer. It is believed that by making kheer, the bride will bring sweetness and joy to the family. From the temples, to shrines, to houses and to restaurants. Kheer has become a tradition in itself.

Not only it is popular among adults, Kheer is equally loved by children. My girls love Kheer, and since we are observing the holy month of Ramadan, I decided to make recipe in Iftar this Friday. Now I don’t like bragging, but I am famous for my Kheer, and just as I expected, the whole family loved it. Hopefully you and your family would also enjoy this Kheer recipe. It is extremely simple to make.
