BM #86 Week 2 Day 1 -
This week I shall highlight some dishes which can be made during any festival season.
This was the first dish I tried after I opened the Instant pot a few months back. Traditionally, this rice kheer takes about 2-3 hours to get the desired consistency and color. I was amazed to see that it took just about 50-55 minutes in the Instant Pot to get the same (actually better) results. My husband loved the look and taste of the pinkish kheer.
Ingredients -
Ghee 2 Tbsp
Basmati Rice 1/2 cup (Washed and soaked for 10 minutes)
Milk (Full Fat) 5 cups
Sugar 1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp (adjust as per preference)
Mixed Nuts, coarsely chopped 2-3 Tbsp
Saffron a pinch
Method Of Preparation -
Turn Instant Pot to Saute mode. Add ghee and rice. Saute for 30 seconds.
Add 5 cups of whole milk, sugar, nuts and saffron.
Close Instant Pot lid with the pressure valve to sealing. Press Porridge button. Set it for 30 minutes. Allow Natural Pressure Release (10-15 minutes).
Open the Instant Pot, Mash the rice with the back of a spoon or use an immersion blender.
Cook on saute for 2-3 mins to achieve the desired consistency while stirring constantly. Keep on the warm mode until ready to be served.
Serve Warm or Chilled.
Preparation Time 1 hr
Makes 6 cups
