Quick Rice Kheer

Pressed for time, and thinking of a nice kheer to prepare? Here's one of my mother's favourite quick fix kheer recipe....

                                                              QUICK RICE KHEER

Ingredients :

Cooked Rice - 1 cup
Milk - 1 cup
Mashed ripe banana - 1
Elaichi (Cardamom) powder - 1/2 tsp
Gud (Jaggery) - 1 cup
Shredded coconut or readymade coconut milk powder - 1/4 cup (optional)
Water - 1/2 cup
Chopped Dry fruits - optional

Method :

1. Mash the rice well in a saucepan. Chop the bananas, keep aside.

2. Add 1/2 cup water to the rice along with the jaggery. Cook on a low flame and allow the jaggery to melt. Keep stirring to prevent lumps.

3. When the jaggery is well mixed with the rice and the mixture thickens a bit, add the banana pieces and shredded coconut. Mix well and let cook for just a minute more.

4. Remove from the flame, add cardamom powder and add milk as required, i.e depending on how thick you like your kheer. Garnish with desired dry fruits.

Serve warm or cold.
