4. Wash rice, drain and add to the thin coconut milk. Add about ½ cup or more water. - Place in a pressure cooker or pan and cook on high for about 3 to 4 whistles (or lower the heat after 1 whistle and simmer on low for 5 minutes). Turn off heat and let the pressure pan cool. - Once pressure is released, slowly open the pan. The rice would have cooked well. It should be mushy. Rice should be cooked well for this kheer.

Note: - Coconut is the star of this kheer, so feel free to use more coconut!! - Turmeric leaves (with a hoard of health benefits – anti-inflammatory, beneficial for the liver, anti-cancer properties, boosts immunity, etc.) emanate a wonderful exotic flavor, so please no substitutions and do not skip adding this!!

9. Add coconut milk to the cooked rice and simmer for about 5 to 10 minutes for the flavor of the milk to permeate the rice grains. - Any ordinary rice is perfect for this, do not use basmati as we want the aroma of the turmeric leaf to be prominent. - Remove the turmeric leaves before eating.
