Rice Kheer in Rice Cooker

Till now, I have been using rice cooker for just cooking rice. Recently I learnt that one cook toor daal (lentil soup), daal makhani and rice kheer. Since, dessert is my weakness, I thought I should start with rice kheer. Ingredients Rice - 1/2 cup Whole milk - 1.5 cups + more Raisins - 1/4 cup Sugar - 1/2 cup Cardamom powder - 1/4 tsp Ghee (clarified butter oil) - 1/2 tsp Method Rinse rice with water. Drain excess water and put rice in the slow cooker. Pour all the milk and turn on the rice cooker and cover the lid. It is important to stir kheer from to time to time. Add sugar. You may need to add more milk as the milk concentrates before the rice is cooked. Once the rice cooked in milk turn off the switch. Heat ghee in a laddle. When hot add the raisins and cook on low heat till raising loook golden and pour the mixture in the kheer. Sprinkle the cardamom powder and serve cold or warm

Shimla mirch aur alloo sabzi [Potato bell pepper fry]

Back home I used to love bell peppers [aka capsicum, shimla mirch] and for some reason don't enjoy eating it here in the US. Being a vegetarian, its not a good idea to be choosy with limited vegetables available here :)) So I decided to cook a regular bell pepper and potato curry with a twist.....and my secret ingredient is MDH Paav Bhaji Masala [you can get in any Indian store ]. Trust me, Paav bhaji masala adds an extra zing to the sabzi and now its one of my favorites !! I hope you all gonna enjoy this one.... Ingredient: Potato - 2 medium Bell pepper [Capsicum] - 2 medium Onion- 1 big Mustard seeds [rai] - 1tbsp Turmeric - 1.5 tsp *Paav Bhaji masala - 2tbsp Corriander/Cilantro Powder [dhania] - 1.5tsp Salt - according to taste Green Chillie - 1 chopped Method: Boil potato, make sure you don't over boil them, else they will be mushy Chop onions [ slightly bigger pieces, it adds taste to the subzi (curry) ] Chop bell peppers [ not too big nor too small ]
