Kheer

Being someone who hates wastage of food, leftovers are one big headache for me, especially when they are of dishes my children are not fond of ( read dal and rice) because then there’s no one to help me finish it off. So, I usually end up making a variety of other dishes from these leftovers like kheer from rice, dal kachoris using the leftover dal etc. And they are quite good (if I may say so myself!). So today, I’m sharing the recipe for kheer made from leftover rice…
