Wow, the kheer looks so thick creamy and inviting. I've yet to try using paneer to make kheer. Does it taste similar to rasmalai?

I love also thick kheer & I usually made with milk only never tried with paneer. Kheer looks so tempting with a perfect texture. Great share

I have never heard of a pudding like this but I imagine it’s delicious with those nuts included. Lovely

The kheer looks rich and the texture is just perfect.. I somehow don't like thin watery kheer
