  1. PESHAWARI QISSA KHAWANI KHEER This isn’t your everyday kheer. This is the iconic Qissa Khawani Kheer — a 70-year-old recipe born in the heart of Peshawar’s Qissa Khwani Bazaar. What makes it special? A velvety blend of cooked rice, rusk, milk powder, and milk, slow-cooked to a rich, creamy perfection, and elevated with a touch of caramel for that deep, unforgettable flavour. One bite, and you’ll know why this kheer has been passed down like a delicious secret for generations. Wardrobe @thedressrobe2020 Ingredients pinned 📌 in comments. Method: Step 1: Prepare the creamy base 1. In a blender, combine cooked rice, rusk, milk powder, and half a cup of milk. 2. Blend it into a smooth, lump-free mixture. This gives the kheer its iconic texture. 🔸 Step 2: Cook the kheer 1. In a deep, heavy-bottomed pan, pour the remaining milk. 2. Add sugar, saffron, cardamom powder (if using), and chopped nuts. 3. Let it come to a boil on medium heat, then reduce to low and simmer for 5–7 minutes. 🔸 Step 3: Add the rice-rusk mixture 1. Now pour in the blended mixture slowly while stirring continuously. 2. Cook on low flame, stirring often, until the kheer thickens — about 10–15 minutes. You’ll notice it becoming velvety and luscious. 🔸 Step 4: Make the caramel 1. In a small pan, melt 2 tbsp sugar on low heat till it turns golden brown. 2. Immediately (but carefully), pour it into the kheer and stir it in. This adds a deep, nutty sweetness and signature flavour. 🔸 Step 5: Cool & garnish 1. Let the kheer cool to room temperature, then chill it for a few hours. 2. Garnish with more sliced nuts and saffron before serving. Pro Tips: For a smokier depth, you can even burn slightly the caramel before adding. This tastes even better the next day once flavors mature. #kheer #kheerrecipe #peshawar #peshawari #recipe #recipes #cooking #qissakhwani Do you like Kheer?
