Rice Kheer Recipe is made with milk, rice, sugar, and cardamom powder. This recipe is very easy to make and can be prepared in a pressure cooker easily.
It’s been almost 3 weeks that we posted something here.
It all began with our trip to Hyderabad. But even after we came back, we somehow couldn’t push ourselves to work. (Call it the hangover of the trip.)
At times it is so difficult to push yourself to do something, especially if it requires you to get out of your comfort zone.
Our trip to Hyderabad was a relaxing one. We didn’t do anything but relax. I, especially rested and rested.
It was a deviation from our routine. The daily routine where you push yourselves to do a lot of things. Getting the little one ready and sending her to school, cleaning, cooking and a lot many such things.
Your life becomes like an assembly line. Every day is the exact same day. You like doing some things, but hate doing a few others but then you do not have a choice.
And a lot many times, almost all of the things that you like, kinda get buried in all of those things that you don’t like.
And probably that is why, when you get a chance to break away from that routine, you grab it with both hands. But when you have to come back, you just don’t feel like.
That’s what happened to us.
We didn’t feel like coming back.
It took us 3 weeks and some serious discussion on what we were doing, to come back. But eventually we did and that is what matters (I guess).
