Cardamom does the work
Kheer is rice pudding with a different set of flavours at work. Basmati rice cooks in milk with cardamom until the grains go soft and the pudding turns creamy. If you know my Instant Pot Rice Pudding, this is the bowl to try next.
The rice needs a good rinse before it goes in. That rinse washes off loose starch and keeps the milk from turning gluey. A stir and a scrape of the bottom also help, since milk likes to catch if it sits in one spot.
Warm tonight, cold tomorrow
Serve it warm in small bowls with pistachios and almonds over the top. Or chill it until it sets thick and cold. A spoon of Instant Pot Dulce de Leche over a chilled bowl is rich, sweet, and very good.
Leftovers keep three days in the fridge and thicken as they sit. Stir in a splash of milk when you serve them again. If a set dessert is more your plan, my Instant Pot Cheesecake comes from the same desserts list and feeds a crowd.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Put the rinsed rice, milk, water, and the pinch of salt in the inner pot. Stir well and scrape the bottom so no rice sits in one spot.
- Lock the lid and pressure cook for 20 minutes.
- Leave the pot alone until the float valve drops, about 20 minutes. The pressure eases off on its own, and the rice keeps softening as it sits.
- Open the lid and stir well. The rice will be very soft and the pudding will look loose. That is right at this point.
- Switch to Sauté on low. Stir in the sugar and cardamom and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring, until the pudding coats the back of a spoon.
- Stir in the raisins and half the pistachios and almonds. Serve warm, or chill until thick and cold, with the rest of the nuts over the top.
