Matka Kheer
Matka Kheer
Kheer is a popular dessert in the Sub-Continent. It is a pudding made by boiling milk, sugar and rice primarily. In Pakistan Kheer is made on special occassions and is especially made during Eid as the main dessert. Kheer is a very aromatic dessert as it is infused with cardamom, saffron and even Kewra water. There are many variations of Kheer but this recipe is inspired by the Matka (Claypot) Kheer. In Karachi i still remember having Kheer in little Matkas and you could easily eat more than one at a time. I feel that the Matka adds another element of flavour to the already aromatic and flavourful dessert. The earthy flavour of the Matka when blends in with the Kheer becomes a match made in heaven.
