kheer!... - Page 5

why that sad face? 😕don't u like biology? 😕

first when jeevika had made it she forgot to add sugar and viren had to eat all of them!

and now manvi made it..poor viren he has to eat without even defending himself!!

i agree bechara viren! 😆

Then I decided to learn cooking. Everyday I used to ask my Mom for recipe and made new things. Its not as difficult as it looks. Most dishes recipe is similar.

One day my BF wanted to eat kheer and I decided to make it. But I could not reach my Mom. The dish seemed simple to make and I made it myself. Everything else was fine except I put 1 bowl of rice in 2 litre milk. It tasted good right away but within an hour the kheer turned into Halwa.

Now I know that only less than 1/2 bowl rice is enough.

Following is recipe for those who dont know it:

Take little less than 1/2 small bowl rice and 2 litre milk.

Put milk to boil on medium heat.

If you have Elaichi crush 4-5 and put in milk. It gives nice aroma.

Wash rice and put it in milk to boil.

Add crushed or cut dry fruits (almonds, cashew, pista).

Keep stirring every few minutes or it may burn from bottom.

Add raisins and grated coconut.

Add 1 bowl sugar (or as desired).

Keep stirring till rice is cooked properly and kheer has thicked.

Garnish with dry fruits and serve.

Some people like hot kheer and some like cold. We like cold kheer and so I put kheer in frezzer for 30 mins to cool down fast as everyone is killing me to get the kheer by that time.

I have been told that I make very tasty kheer, even better than my mother or mother-in-law.

I have a funny incident regarding kheer and cooking sweet dish first time after wedding.

My BF and I both worked so did not have a very long time-off for our wedding. So, after our wedding the very next day we left for our honeymoon and the cooking sweet-dish rasam could not be done in our hometown. We returned to Delhi directly from honeymoon to my husbands apartment in Delhi where he lived with his younder brother-in-law and father-in-law. My mother-in-law lived in hometown with my husband's elder brother. Anyway, I cooked food alongwith Kheer for my husband, devar and father-in-law. As tradition in our family, men eat first. Everyone liked the kheer so much that they kept asking for more and finally all three ate all the kheer and I did not even get to taste it. And then they all went to their respective rooms so that I could have food in peace. All forgot the tradition of giving a gift to newlywed bride for cooking sweetdish. I was so sad. I had my food and was washing dishes and crying when my husband came looking for me. When he saw me crying he was amazed and asked me what was wrong. I kept crying and he kept telling me that I need not worry as food was very delicious. Then I told him about the tradition of giving gift to bride which I did not get and I did not even get to taste the kheer. When my father-in-law was told about it next morning he was so embarrased. We still laugh about it and tease my in-laws.
