Rice porridge

This खीर or porridge is made for the नैवेद्य on the second day/ rishipanchmi on the arrival of Lord Ganesh.
Use of flavored rice like Basmati, Ambemohor enhances the taste and gives aroma to the dish.

It's very simple to prepare. Thanks to the pressure cooker!!!

1/2 cup rice-Wash and drain rice for 10-15 minutes.
Pressure cook with 1 cup water and 1 cup milk ( to make it more creamy, use full cream milk)for 10-15 minutes.
Mash the cooked rice with a ladle. Alternatively you can grind coarsely the drained rice before cooking. This is done to make the porridge more smooth.
Transfer the contents in a pan and add sugar as per your taste. Add more milk to adjust the consistency.
Cook for 5-8 minutes ( till it blends well) on low flame while stirring continuously.
Add blanched almonds,saffron and cardamom powder.
