Ingredients

  • Almond
  • Milk
  • Saffron
  • Sugar
  • Cardamom

Instructions

  • Soak almonds in 1 cup water for 5-6 hours. Peel the skin of the almonds and add them to a blender along with ½ cup milk. Blend to make a smooth paste. They will add to the texture of the kheer. Add the remaining milk to a heavy bottom pan and bring it to a boil on medium heat. Stir frequently. Once the milk comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low and add saffron to the pan and mix well. Cook for 4-5 minutes. Keep stirring frequently. Now add the almond paste to the pan and cook on low heat until the kheer thickens. Keep stirring very frequently to avoid scorching. Keep scraping the sides of the pan. Once the kheer is thickened, stir in sugar and cardamom powder and cook for another 5 minutes. Garnish with slivered almonds and pistachios and dried rose petals and serve hot or chilled.
