Health Benefits : Rice is a source of carbohydrates, proteins and calories. It also contains amino acids

Bonus tip : If you want some variation in taste, you can add 1 tea spoon of ghee in it. For softer kheer, over cook the rice.

Fuel saving tip - If you soak rice after washing for few minutes, it will take lesser time and gas to cook.
