Coconut milk rice pudding, also known as "kheer" in South Asia, has a rich history dating back centuries. This creamy and aromatic dessert is a staple in many South Asian and Southeast Asian cuisines, with variations found in India, Thailand, and Malaysia. The dish is made by simmering rice in coconut milk and sweetening it with sugar or jaggery, then flavored with cardamom, saffron, and nuts. Renowned chefs like Vikas Khanna and Padma Lakshmi have popularized this dish, and it's a favorite in Indian restaurants worldwide. For the best version, seek out authentic South Asian eateries or try making it at home with high-quality coconut milk and aromatic spices.
