Instant Pot Slow Cooker Rice Kheer (Quick & Rich)

This Instant Pot rice kheer made using slow cook mode is creamy, aromatic, and close to traditional halwai-style kheer. I sautéed the rice in ghee first, slow cooked it in milk, and finished it with a fragrant ghee dry fruits tadka—simple but very flavorful.
