- 1
Simmer the rice in milk
Add the rice to the milk in a heavy-bottomed pot and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- 2
Cook slowly
Simmer for 25–30 minutes, stirring regularly, until the rice is fully soft and the milk has reduced and thickened.
- 3
Sweeten and spice
Stir in the sugar and crushed cardamom, and simmer a further 5 minutes.
- 4
Garnish
Top with slivered almonds.
- 5
Serve
Serve warm or chilled.
Nitra tip
Crushing the cardamom pods rather than using pre-ground powder gives a noticeably fresher, more fragrant kheer.
