Caramel Kheer – My childhood fondness for caramel won out this time. But standing on one foot and thinking about burned syrup stopped me. I was tempted to try this recipe at least once in my life, but as I previously stated, the fear of burning the syrup and having a permanently damaged sauce pan scared me off.
Caramel Kheer has been on my wish list for quite some time. Caramel, if you haven’t heard of it [you’re probably living under a rock, just kidding], is basically just sugar melted into a liquid that sets in the blink of an eye [yes, very difficult to handle]. The Caramel Kheer was delicious, and there was also a tip to keep the kheer from becoming twisted up.
If you’re making Caramel Kheer, add the sugar syrup when the kheer is fuming hot, or the kheer will have chunks of sugar syrup/caramel, which is heavenly, but the kheer won’t be kheer]. I hope you all enjoy this recipe.
