Kheer(Rice Pudding)
Kheer / rice pudding is traditional Indian sweet/dessert, everyone loves Kheer. It takes some time to cook and need some patience to get best flavor and taste. Kheer taste yummy when it is hot or cold. We enjoyed both when I make Kheer. My daughter like hot and cold both version and she keep one bowl separately in refrigerator, so she can enjoy cold version later on.
