How to make Rice Kheer – Bengali Payesh
METHOD:
1) Boil 1 lit milk in a pan.
2) Remove the seeds from the cardamom and grind it . Personally, I don’t prefer whole cardamom in Payesh as I have to spit out the cardamom while eating. So what you can put the cardamom outer shell inside this spice infuser and soak in the boiling milk for 5 mins.
3) Add the rice and cook for 20 mins in a medium heat until the rice is soft. Stir occasionally so that the rice does not stick to the bottom.
4) Add the condensed milk and stir well.
5) Add sugar, cashew nut and raisin and cook it for 5 more mins.
6) Lastly add the cardamom powder and mix well. Cover the lid and let it cool. Put it in the refrigerator when it is at room temperature.
Serving: 3-4

I've never had this before so I don't know what it should taste like. What I do know is that I do like it. It reminded me of rice pudding. I think this recipe would be better if there was more cream. There just wasn't enough of it. If I make it again I will double the cream.
The quantities and times are accurate for this recipe. Bengali payesh rice kheer is not as thick as a Western-style rice pudding, and should still be a bit fluid when cool. I like to put in about a quarter of a small can of sweetened condensed milk in payesh.
It is a very authentic and nice recipe for Bengali payesh or rice kheer. I'm going to tell my wife about this recipe to make some for me. I love when some original and authentic recipes are shared. Thank you.
