Yes, rice should be soaked for 20-30 minutes before making kheer. Soaking helps rice cook evenly, and soften faster, creating a smoother consistency while reducing overall cook time.
Almonds, cashews, pistachios and raisins go well with kheer. They add a crunch, natural sweetness, and richness to the creamy dessert. Chopped or roasted dry fruits enhance flavour and texture.
The best chocolate to use for making chocolate kheer is high quality dark chocolate (50%-60% cocoa), or Cadbury Dairy Milk cocoa powder. It helps balance the natural sweetness and richness of the kheer.
Dark chocolate pairs best with saffron when making a chocolate kheer. The strong flavor of high cocoa dark chocolate cuts through the rich, creamy milk base without masking the aroma of saffron.
