kheer
Milky rice dessert
Kheer is a South Asian rice pudding, made by simmering rice in milk and sugar until thick and creamy, typically flavored with cardamom, saffron, or rose water and garnished with nuts and raisins.
It appears at celebrations and religious offerings across India, Pakistan, and neighboring countries: My grandmother always made kheer for Diwali.
