Creamy Cardamom-Scented Rice Pudding Simmered in Full-Fat Milk

A classic Indian dessert, Rice Kheer, also known as Pal Payasam in the south, is a creamy and aromatic pudding made with slow-cooked rice, milk, sugar, and cardamom. It’s a favorite during festivals, family gatherings, and celebrations. I remember enjoying a bowl of chilled kheer topped with slivered almonds as a child—it always felt like a treat!
