If you are craving something sweet and comforting after a rich, spicy meal, our traditional Kheer is exactly what you need. Here at Ya Habibi Kabab & Karahi, we make this classic rice pudding from scratch, bringing a taste of authentic Middle Eastern and South Asian comfort food to Astoria, NY. It is creamy, perfectly sweet, and easily available to order online for your next dessert fix.
We focus on the simple things: high-quality dairy, premium rice, and the perfect balance of flavors.
Great rice pudding cannot be rushed. We slowly simmer whole milk and premium rice together until it reaches a beautiful, thick consistency. This creates a naturally rich and velvety texture that simply melts in your mouth.
We carefully measure our sugar so the pudding is satisfyingly sweet without making you feel sluggish. To really elevate the dish, we mix in ground cardamom, which gives every single spoonful a warm, floral, and aromatic finish.
It takes a lot of patience and stirring to get the texture just right. We rely on old-school cooking methods to make sure the flavors develop fully and the milk reduces perfectly.
We cook the rice and milk over low heat, gently stirring it to prevent burning. This gentle cooking process breaks down the rice just enough so that it blends seamlessly into the creamy milk base.
Want to know a bit more about our favorite dessert before you order? Here are some quick answers to the most common questions we get.
We serve our Kheer chilled! Eating this creamy dessert cold is the absolute best way to cool down your taste buds, especially after enjoying a hot plate of our spicy Beef karahi.
Not at all. While the pudding is rich, we serve it in just the right portion size. It gives you the perfect amount of sweetness to end your dinner on a high note without leaving you feeling overly stuffed.
