Black Rice Kheer !

One of the yummiest Kheer I ever had and made.. My mother-in-law's recipe !


Black rice - 1/2 cup
Milk - 1/2 ltr
Sugar - 1/3 cup or as per personal choice
Cardamon powder 1/2 tsp
Bay leaf - 1
Salt - 1 pinch

Clean and soak the rice in 3 times the amount of rice for about 4-5 hours.  1 1/4 cup to 1 1/2 cup as per the rice quality. Use exact measurement as we will use the soaked water as it has a lot of nutrition.

One soaked pressure cook the rice with the same water, bay leaf and salt for 6-7 whistles. Leave it till the pressure leaves.

Boil the milk and reduce it to around 3/4th of the quantity or even half. The more it reduces the more tastier it will be. You can add the sugar in the milk itself once boils and keep aside.

Open the lid of the cooker. Add the milk stirring constantly and bring to a light boil till the Kheer comes the required consistency. Keep it just a little  liquidy when you switch of the flame cause once it cools.. It will become slightly thicker. Add the cardomom powder and your Kheer is ready.

Do make and let me know how it tasted. A definite try.
