Step 2: Wash the rice and soak it in water for a while. Put the milk to boil in a pan. When the milk starts boiling, drain the water from the soaked rice and add it to the milk. Keep stirring the kheer continuously. Keep in mind that the kheer should not stick to the bottom.
Step 3: Soak the jaggery in some water or milk in a vessel. When the kheer is cooked well and the milk is reduced to about half, then filter the jaggery solution and add it to it. Stir the kheer continuously after adding the jaggery. Now add cardamom to the kheer and cook. You can keep the kheer thick or thin as per your choice.
Step 4: When the kheer is ready, add all the finely chopped dry fruits. After adding dry fruits, cook the kheer for 5 more minutes. Now add 1 spoon of desi ghee in it and turn off the gas. Delicious jaggery and rice kheer is ready.
Step 5: If you want, you can add desi khand, sugar, or even powdered sugar instead of jaggery in the kheer. But jaggery kheer tastes more delicious in winter. You should dedicate it to God as an offering. Eat it yourself and feed it to the family members.?
