Select your microwave wattage in the dropdown. The cook times in this recipe will automatically change accordingly.

To find your microwave’s wattage, look at the front panel, the side of the door, in the back, in the user manual, or Google the model number. If both an input and output wattage are listed, use the output.

Wattage translates to how powerful the microwave is. The higher the wattage, the faster your food will cook. The lower the wattage, the longer the cook time.

When in doubt, start with less time — you can always add more.

Ingredients

  • silver leaf, for garnish
  • mixed nuts, for garnish

Preparation

  2. Add condensed milk, sugar, saffron and cook again for 4 minutes. Remove from the microwave and lightly whisk till the rice has a porridge-like consistency.

Serving suggestions & tips

  • You can replace the long-grain basmati rice with short-grain rice to make your kheer extra creamy.
  • Microwave ovens vary, even with the same wattages. Adjust cooking times as needed. For more recipes, visit cookanyday.
