About Kheer

Kheer is a traditional Indian dessert made by simmering rice, milk, and sugar until thick and creamy, often flavored with cardamom, saffron, and garnished with nuts like almonds and pistachios or dried fruits such as raisins. This staple in South Asian cuisine is both indulgent and comforting, served during festive occasions and celebrations. The base ingredients of milk and rice provide calcium and energy, while the inclusion of nuts adds healthy fats, protein, and essential vitamins. However, kheer’s sugar content can make it calorie-dense, so portion control is key for those monitoring their intake. Variations with jaggery instead of sugar or brown rice can slightly enhance its nutritional profile. Whether enjoyed warm or chilled, kheer is a versatile dessert treasured for its rich flavors and simple ingredients.
