Kheer- Serves 8

Kheer is a sweetened Indian rice pudding. There are many a different ways to make kheer. Some people like to cook it on slow fire ( for a long period of time). The use of pressure cookers reduces the time taken to make this dish drastically. The aim is to evaporate the milk and make it off a thicker consistency ( pudding like). You could reduce the amount of milkmaid if you prefer it less sweet.
