==Notes, tips, and variations==
 
*Stir the milk while bringing it to the boil.
 
*You may also want to leave the kheer boiling for much longer (several hours), until it has been significantly reduced; this provides a stronger flavour and a light-pink colour.
 
*You can use rice flour instead of plain rice.
 
*For kheer that is not too thick when cold, use 170 mL (⅔ cup) of rice instead.
 
*If to be eaten cold, it's nicer to use double the quantities of sugar, sultanas, and almonds.
 
  
==Warnings==
+
 
*The main difficulty in this dish is preventing the kheer from sticking to the bottom of the pan, that requires care.
