做法
- 把泡好的米沥干。一半米用擀面杖或臼略碾——碎米释出更多淀粉,布丁更顺滑。
- 厚底锅中把牛奶煮至小开。下米。最小火煮 45 分钟,每 5 分钟搅一次以免糊底。米应当完全烂开,牛奶减少三分之一,呈淡象牙色。
- 下糖与盐,再煮 15 分钟——布丁会进一步变稠。
- 拌入小豆蔻粉、藏红花牛奶、一半杏仁片、一半开心果、葡萄干和(若用)khoya。
- 再煮 5 分钟。布丁应能厚厚挂住勺背。
- 拌入玫瑰水。倒入小碗或大盘里。撒上剩下的杏仁与开心果。温热或冰镇都可——巴基斯坦家庭两种都吃。布丁冷却后会进一步变稠;太稠时加一点牛奶稀释。

文化背景
巴基斯坦的 kheer 与开斋节联系最紧——每个家庭都会做一大锅,与亲戚分享。波斯—莫卧儿源头保留在玫瑰水、藏红花与小豆蔻的收尾;米—奶煮成粥的概念更古老,可追溯至古美索不达米亚。它在巴基斯坦有数十种地方变体:米 kheer、细面 kheer(sevaiyan)、苹果 kheer、奶酪 kheer。慢炖必不可少;任何捷径都会让布丁稀薄、风味不浓。
