    Kheer Puri

    5 from 1 vote

    Step by step of Pakistani kheer puri with photos. Ask any South Asian about kheer puri and they would say they love it. The combination of chilled meethi kheer and hot namkaeen puri is mouth-watering. In Pakistan, kheer is served in a pair of 'kunda', clay bowls. As clay pots help evaporating water, kunda or matka kheer is richer and thicker too.

    Pakistani kheer served with poori.

    Kheer is a very simple dish made in hundreds of different ways; boiled rice, with broken rice, with rice, soaked first, and then broken, and so on.

    And what is more interesting is the texture, so few like super-smooth kheer, few like more granular sort and few would want it runny. I would say your best kheer is like your mom fed you and you developed that taste.

    For aroma in kheer you can add saffron or cardamom, cardamom is more common and traditional. But saffron definitely boosts the flavor so you can choose what is available and you like more.

    As they say 'jitna gur daloga itna meetha hoga'. So the more milk is added the tastier and richer will be your kheer. To reduce cooking time you can use milk powder or khoya (mava) or sweetened condensed milk.

    This is really helpful if you are making a large batch on a religious occasion like niaz when 3-4 liter milk is used and evaporating it would be a long process. For a small batch only milk (1 liter milk for ¼ cup rice kheer) would also suffice.

    Kheer puri is so easy hardly anyone would want a recipe. But then some recipes find their way to blog as a tribute to the dish.  

    When we cook rice in water instead of milk it assures complete puffing of rice which is difficult when pre-soaked rice is cooked in milk directly. I am using milk powder but you can substitute milk powder with more milk too. Puri recipe is in the end, remember kheer puri is crispier as it is made without baking soda.

    How to make it?

    img_2139

    Heat milk on low flame. Add cardamom. While milk thickens lets cook rice.

    img_2144

    I soaked rice overnight. You can soak for 1 hour too.

    img_2145

    Cook until very soft. Cover and cook for more 5-7 minutes.

    img_2151

    Rice are very soft now.

    img_2147

    Add sugar and rice to milk.

    img_2152

    Bend for 2-3 pulse for a smooth kheer or just stirring will also do.img_2157

    At this consistency add milk powder. Mix well. Cook more for 5-7 minutes on very low flame with stirring. Kheer is ready.

    Dish out in matka, kunda or deep plates and garnish with grounded pistachio. More surface area means quick cooling and the thick layer that develops on top of kheer is really yummy. Serve chilled or warm kheer with hot puri. Find Puri recipe below the recipe card.

    Take flour, salt and oil in a bowl. ( I always start making dough while my rice is cooking in water on low flame to save time)

    img_2166

    Form a tight dough. Rest the dough for 10 minutes.

    Then, Spread whole dough on a flat surface with a rolling-pin. Smear ½ tablespoon of oil, and sprinkle flour.
