Here back at home in Weimar, I stir rice into almond and coconut milk adding just a hint of spicy warmth with cardamom and fennel seeds. Carrots and raisins add vibrant color and soft sweetness. Indian rice pudding – kheer – is an all time favorite with Soeren and me. We enjoy a quiet moment by the window watching the trees dance in the winds. We satisfy our sweet cravings, sharing tasty meals with friends by candlelight.
