Rice Kheer is an essential dessert for every Indian occasion because it has delicious traditional flavour. I can hardly find anyone who doesn’t like Rice Kheer as it has a peckish flavour and creamy texture. Moreover, Rice Kheer recipe is simple and easy to cook because it doesn’t need many ingredients to make. We just need Rice, Milk, Sugar and some dry fruits that’s it. In this dessert, you can also use Basmati Tukda Rice because Basmati Tukda Rice has good flavour as compared to other varieties of rice. You can serve this recipe with Malpua, Jalebi. This Malpua and Rice Kheer combination is delightful. You can serve Rice Kheer recipe either hot or chilled but I personally like to eat when chilled.
Some diabetic patients or any other health-conscious people don’t like to eat any sugary desserts like kheer, or any sweet. So, for those people, you can use jaggery (Gud) or brown sugar. But it will affect the flavor of Kheer and there is also some possibility of milk getting sour because some kind of jaggery has soda and hot milk and soda don’t go well when mixed together. If you really want to add jaggery in your kheer then add it, when your kheer is done. But You will not be going to get that authentic flavour of Kheer. That is why I always recommend sugar over jaggery or use Sugar-Free products from the market. For enhancing the flavour, add a little bit of condensed milk. But if you are using condensed milk in kheer then skip the sugar. Here, I used sugar in Kheer. Because I want to share the Typical Indian flavour of Kheer with fewer ingredients that anyone can cook.

Notes
- For thickness and taste of Kheer, keep the Rice Kheer on low to medium flame for at least 30 minutes before adding sugar. After adding sugar, you will not be able to get that thick consistency of the kheer.
- Keep stirring the kheer after adding Rice that will not allow the rice to get stuck on the bottom of the pot.
- You can also adjust the quantity of sugar and dry fruits as per your taste.
