Kheer or rice pudding made using milk is a very popular and commonly prepared sweet dish across India and other parts of Asia. However, the Rice Kheer made in Odisha is markedly different from those made in other parts of the country. Because here in Odisha, right at the beginning, a little bit of sugar is first caramelized and is then the soaked rice and milk are cooked together, which lends a rich creamy texture to the kheer, besides the distinct flavour. Such kheers are especially prepared in wedding parties and other such major social functions in Odisha.
