- cardamom - watch the video to see (crushed, for flavor)

Instructions
- Prepare Rice: Wash the rice thoroughly two to three times and soak it in water for about 3-4 hours.
- Boil Milk: Pour 2 liters of milk into a pan and bring it to a boil.
- Cook Rice in Milk: Drain the soaked rice and add it to the boiling milk. Cook on medium flame, stirring continuously or intermittently on low-medium flame, until the milk reduces to half.
- Add Sugar and Cardamom: Add sugar one bowl at a time according to desired sweetness, and add crushed cardamom for flavor. Continue to cook until the kheer thickens well.
