Thanks for this. I have over complicated rice pudding for years, I think. I have a broken tooth at the moment and waiting for a fix. This is my easy to eat comfort food i will make today.

This is great. Two things:

1. I came to kheer relatively late in life and have become somewhat obsessed with it. Definitely my preferred version.

2. Re oatmeal and pudding--if I had the time and energy for it (and maybe if I were a different kind of person all together), I would campaign to have Americans start calling the cooked dish "porridge," to differentiate it from the raw ingredient "oatmeal."

Porridge! Yes. I feel like Americans think porridge = gruel, so we’ll have to work on changing that. Count me in.

I came to congee late in life, and am obsessed with that porridge, the savory side of rice pudding.

Congee is delicious. Agate's production manager turned me onto it.

Rice pudding is so underrated!

And often over complicated!
