You can have it warm or chilled. I prefer to have it in both ways. First, I have it warm and then I store leftover kheer in the fridge. And have it chilled later.
You can make seviyan kheer (vermicelli kheer) also. It also tastes delicious.
We make rice kheer or aate ka halwa at almost every festival. Read my moong dal hawla recipe post.
