Difference Between Kheer And Doodh Paak
Kheer is very creamy and thick.
In kheer recipe ratio of milk and rice is e.g. 1-litre milk and 1/4 cup rice
In the method of making kheer as soon as the milk starts boiling, we add rice and cook until everything until rice is almost mushy.
In kheer recipe, saffron can be added.
What Is Doodh Paak?
Doodh Paak translates 'Cooked Milk'. In Doodh Paak recipe, it is very important that you boil milk first and milk should be concentrated and approximately 60% of the water content has to be evaporated and it should look like cream colour evaporated milk but should not become Rabdi or basundi.
Ratio of milk and rice should be 1 litre milk and 1 tablespoon rice.
In Doodh Paak rice is only added after milk is cooked properly.
And please do not add saffron.
Doodh Paak should only be garnished with almonds and pistachio nuts.
And Doodh Paak is creamy but not thick, Doodh Paak is there to gulp it down :)
Why You Should Make This Recipe?
Not only my mum but her BIL was also a great fan of her Doodh Paak too. He would easily gulp it down 3-4 bowl at a time At that time my mum was a big fan of her cooking, but only after she got married and noted down few recipes from her like Handvo, Methi Thepla,Sukhdi, and Doodh Paak!
Can I make Vegan Doodh Paak?
Yes, you can. Use coconut, oats or rice milk.
Can I use sweetened condensed milk to make Doodh Paak?
Traditional Doodh Paak recipe is made without condensed milk, but can be used in making Rice Kheer.
Top Tips For The Best Doodh Paak Recipe
To make Doodh Paak always use whole milk or full cream milk, the doodh paak will be creamier and rich.
Always, use heavy base pan or kadai to make doodh paak, and continually keep stirring to get the best results.
Never leave milk-based recipes unattended, there will be a chance of milk getting burn or sticks to the bottom of the pan.
Once Doodh Paak is made, cover the pan with a muslin cloth. This will prevent the forming of any creamy layers.
