This easy Indian Rice Pudding with carrots and pistachios (Kheer) is one of my favorite vegan soul food recipes. Serve it for dessert or breakfast!<\/em><\/p>\n

How to make Vegan Indian Rice Pudding (Kheer) with Carrots & Pistachios<\/h2>\n

We simply cook some basmati rice in a mixture of milk and coconut milk, then toss in some grated carrots, raisins and chopped nuts. Like a spoonable carrot cake batter. Just more flavourful and quite a bit healthier.<\/p>\n

By adding fennel seeds, cardamom and cinnamon to the milk, the Indian rice pudding gets a homey but yet exotic note. Just the right comforting thing to eat to brighten you up on a rainy day.<\/p>\n

By cooking the carrots they release extra sweetness so we can reduce the overall amount of added sugar in this Indian rice pudding dessert.<\/p>\n

All in all kheer is really not one of the ultra-rich desserts we sometimes find in Indian cuisine. I like to prepare it at night and have a bowl for breakfast and then again as a TV snack at night.<\/p>\n
