Delicious Homemade Milk Kheer: Enjoy it Yourself, Treat Your Loved Ones

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup rice
• 1 litre milk
• 1/2 cup sugar (or to taste)
• 4-5 saffron strands (optional)
• 4-5 small cardamom pods
• 2 tablespoons almonds, cashews, and raisins (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon ghee

Method:

1. Firstly, rinse the rice thoroughly and set it aside.
2. Heat ghee in a pot and add the rice. Lightly roast the rice until it turns golden brown, ensuring it doesn’t burn.
3. In another pot, heat the milk. Once the milk is hot, add the roasted rice.
4. Let the milk and rice simmer on low heat. Stir constantly with a spoon to prevent the milk from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
5. After the milk and rice have cooked, add sugar and cardamom. If using saffron, soak it in the milk before adding.
6. Continue to simmer the mixture on low heat, stirring regularly. Make sure the kheer thickens to a desired consistency.
7. When the kheer reaches the desired consistency and the rice is well-cooked, add chopped almonds, cashews, and raisins.
8. Cook for a few more minutes and then turn off the heat.
9. Serve the kheer cold. Optionally, garnish with a few saffron strands or chopped almonds before serving.

Enjoy your delicious milk kheer!
