Kheer Payesh
Kheer payesh is a slow-simmered Bengali rice pudding with milk, fragrant short-grain rice, cardamom, raisins, and nuts. Serve it chilled or barely warm, creamy enough to spoon but still gently flowing.
π Recipe adapted from Wikidata (Dish)
Rinse the rice and let it drain while the milk comes to a gentle simmer.
Add rice and bay leaf to the milk, stirring often so the grains do not stick.
Cook slowly until the rice softens and the milk thickens to a creamy pourable texture.
Stir in sugar, cardamom, raisins, cashews, pistachios, and saffron.
Cool the payesh slightly before serving warm, or chill it for a firmer dessert.
