Kheer | Rice pudding

-

The white bowl of sweetness, a dessert which is equal to food. Kheer is made of rice cooked in milk and mixed with lots of dry fruits a delight for eyes and tummy.

Nutritional Value

The kheer nutritional value depends how much cream is used or made of khoya or just skim milk. Here I have prepared with khoya and this dish serves 5 bowl with 300k cal each.

Ingredients

1 Cup- rice ( any kind white)

2 liters of milk

1/2 cup dry fruits- any thing of choice

Sugar free- 3 tbsp

1 tsp- clarified butter 

Saffron strands- few (optional)

200 gms- khoya or milk powder if khoya not available.

Method

Clean the rice with water and let it sit in it for an hour. (Optional step but it speed the process of cooking).

In a deep heavy bottom pan keep the milk to boil, meantime roast you dry fruits, this is also optional and the dry fruits can be used directly in the dish too.

Take the khoya in a bowl and microwave for a minute or till it bubbles. If there is no microwave take a pan and let the khoya melt till it bubbles.

Mix the soaked rice in the boiling milk and in very low flame, let the rice cook in the milk.

The mixture will start thickening slowly as the rice begins to cook.

This whole process takes around an hour and the mix should be continuously stirred in very few minutes otherwise it can burn.

Let everything cook and come together.

Add a few strands of saffron if available.

When the rice will be completely cooked add the khoya and let it cook for another five minutes.

Add the sweetener at the end.

Mix the dry fruits with the pudding.

Heat the clarified butter and add few cashew and let them roast. Pour it over the top to garnish.

Enjoy!

Indian Courts and the Summer Vacation: A Need for Reform in Modern Times

Currently, the legal system of the sub-continent owes much to British colonization regarding its structure, as it is one of the largest and most complex legal systems worldwide. One of its  special  characteristics is that the legal working hours  are structured   in a way  that many of the courts, especially the apex courts, remain shut for almost two months during the summer holidays. A practice that was perhaps well suited to the colonial period has lately been the subject of criticism in light of the current and growing requirement of the courts and the massive unprocessed case file.  Historical Context  The concept of summer vacations can be attributed to the British rule in India since they  too   followed  the practice. The majority of them were British judges  and  they could not bear the heat of the Indian summer. Hence,  a long vacation was introduced  so they could go back to England or other hill stations in India that offered cooler climates.  This practice was followed  i
