Re: kheer.
Ramsha, I am glad it worked out well for you 
Using the machine to mash the rice , turns them into really small bits and instead of kheer you will have firni! Therefore never use the machine.
I use my hands to crush them into small bits … since you have soaked the rice for a good two hours or so … they become really soft .. so just leave half of the water in the rice , drain the rest .. then start mashing them lightly … it takes only a minute or so for them to become small particles … The fork isnt very helpful in doing this because it doesnt mash them evenly …
