Candy sugar or rock candy (rock sugar) kheer is a tasty kheer recipe made with flattened rice and rock candy and garnished with nuts.  Rock candy is also called as kalkhand and are relatively large sugar crystals.  It is also regarded as having medicinal properties.  In this recipe, I have used flattened rice or poha to make the kheer.  But you can also use normal rice for making this kheer or even make oats kalkandu kheer with the same recipe.  Aval kalkandu kheer can be prepared quickly as it takes less than half an hour to make it.  Rock candy gives good sugary taste to the kheer.  You can use thin rice flakes instead of thick rice flakes, as the thick ones takes little more time to cook.
