Kheer is a delicious rice pudding popular in Nepal and Northern India. It is similar to European rice pudding but with the addition of spices like cinnamon, cardamon, fenugreek and cloves.  It's the perfect follow-up after a hearty curry.

  • Spices: 3 cloves, 2 cardamom pods, 1/2 cinnamon stick, 1/2 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
METHOD:
  1. Bring the milk and rice to a boil in a pan.
  2. When it starts to boil, reduce the heat, stir and add the grated coconut and all the spices.
  3. Let it simmer for around 20 minutes to cook the rice, then add the sugar.  Keep stirring to avoid the bottom of the pan burning.
