Editor's Notes:

Note: Replacing the black currant with dry grapes, jaggery with sugar, coconut milk with regular milk and rice flour by corn flour will also suffice. There may be a slight change in the taste while using these.

To increase the thickness of the kheer, add more rice flour diluted in water if necessary.
