Kheer, this incredible Indian sweet pudding is one of my daughter's favourite. Obviously i love to make different kheers with many variations, this time i went for a delicious caramel flavored red riceflakes kheer for yesterday's Vinayagar chathurthi celebration.I crossed this very delicious kheer few days back while i was reading a Tamil magazine supplement. Actually the recipe i have crossed goes for white rice flakes, which i replaced simply with thick red rice flakes else i went as per the original recipe i have crossed.
Caramel in this recipe is prepared simply by heating sugar, if you dont have courage to make your caramel at home, just go with the store bought caramel syrup, the addition of caramel syrup gives a beautiful colour to this kheer. Both white and red rice flakes works awesome in this recipe, just go on with your choice of rice flakes. A simple,delicious and definitely a tasty kheer to make at home with simple ingredients. Definitely this kheer is a festive food which can be prepared in a jiffy for poojas.This post goes for the CC Challenge of the month.
