1. Use The Right Rice

When making kheer, it's best to opt for short or medium-grain rice, as they have a high starch content, giving the kheer a creamier texture.

2. Soak The Rice

You must also soak the rice for 20-30 mins before cooking. This helps make the rice softer and promotes even cooking, giving your perfect results.

3. Use Full-Fat Milk

Always use full-fat milk when making kheer. It has a higher fat content, and when simmered gently, it lends the kheer a velvety texture.

4. Simmer On Low Heat

Simmering the kheer on low heat allows the milk to gradually thicken, resulting in a creamy consistency. Remember to stir it occasionally.
