Indian rice pudding, or Indian Kheer, is made by boiling rice, milk, sugar, and tasty ingredients into a delicious pudding you can make in your Instant Pot! The Kheer will be creamy, aromatic, and crunchy from the cashews.
Heat the ghee and when it shimmers, add the raisins and cashews. Stir and cook in the ghee until the cashews are lightly browned and the raisins are plumped.
Add rice, milk, sweetener, and water and cook on high pressure for 15 minutes. Allow it to release pressure naturally, as this is when a lot of the caramelizing will occur.
Open it and don't freak out at the curdled milk. Stir until it's well-mixed, adding half and half a little at a time to thin it out. By this time, you will have a smooth, non-curdled kheer.
