Kheer is a type of Indian pudding. There are many variations of kheer, but there is no home where it isn't prepared. There will be no Indian who wouldn't be tasting it.
To our very own kheer, we gave a fusion with another popular dessert custard.
Ingredients :
— Apples - 2
— Sugar - 2 cups and 3tbsps
— Ghee - 1tbsp
— Nuts of your choice (Cashews, Almonds, Raisins, pistachios)

Recipe :
1. Soak basmati or normal rice for 2hrs. Then drain water and crush rice or blend very coarsely.
2. Peel the Apples and grate them finely.
3. In a pan, heat ghee and add the grated apple.
4. Let this cook on medium flame for 10mins without any burning.
5. Then add 3tbsps of sugar and mix.

9. There should be no burnt base.

Scrape the malai on the sides and add it back to the kheer.
12. Now add the sugar to the kheer and mix. Cook this until the flavors are absorbed.
Make sure there is no burnt bottom.
** You can reduce the sweetness too by adding only 1 1/2 cup of sugar.
13. Now add the nuts of your choice.
** You can fry them in ghee if you want but it tastes good this way.
14. In a seperate bowl, take custard powder and mix with with 1/2 cup of milk (prefered boiled milk).

16. Finally add elachi powder and mix.
