Kheer

This is like a tasty rice pudding. 

You need:
3-5 cups of milk
1/3 cup of rice
1 tsp cardamom
1/4 cup sugar
2 tbl cashews
2 tbl pistachios
2 tbl raisins
2 cups water

Step 1: In a small sauce pan add the nuts and raisins with 2 cups of water. Boil for 10 minutes.

Step 2: Allow the nuts and raisins to cool. Remove from the water, remove skins from the nuts. Chop nuts and raisins. Set aside for later.

Step 3: In a pressure cooker add the milk. Heat milk over medium high until it boils.

Step 4: Add rice and cardamom. Close the lid and heat for 3 whistles. Pop the latch and the lid will fall when the steam has left the pot.

Step 5: Add sugar and stir well. Add chopped nuts and raisins, then stir well.

You can serve warm or chilled.

Lesson learned the hard way: Do not add the sugar until after the milk and rice have been cooked for three whistles in the pressure cooker! If you add the sugar and then cook the sugar will make the milk split while it is cooking.
