Ingredients
Instructions
Rinse basmati rice until the water runs clear. Soak for 20–30 minutes to help it cook evenly.
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, bring milk to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring often to prevent sticking.
Drain soaked rice and add it to the milk. Reduce heat and simmer for 35–40 minutes, stirring frequently.
Once rice softens and milk thickens, add sugar, cardamom powder, and saffron. Stir and cook for another 5–10 minutes.
In a small pan, heat ghee and roast almonds, cashews, and raisins until golden. Add them to the kheer and mix well.
Enjoy warm for comfort or chill for a refreshing dessert. Garnish with pistachios or rose petals before serving.
