Rice pudding (Kheer) is a very popular dessert severed in Nepali cuisine. It is served in almost every occasions and fiestas. Sweet and smooth in texture, this dish provides what I call “a good feeling flavor” to your taste buds after eating spicy Nepali foods. As good as it tastes, it is also extremely easy to make.
