HAPPY NEW YEAR 2022.

Kheer recipes are popular throughout India. They are a favorite among all and are available in a range of flavors. Here I will try making Almond kheer with a few nuts in it. Badam Kheer is very delicious and popular dessert in India. Almond kheer is mainly popular for its lovely aroma and flavoring. The ingredients of this kheer recipe are very simple. Milk is cooked with Badam paste, saffron and sugar.. Along with them, saffron and cardamom are also added so that this dessert gets a distinct aroma and color. Let us see how to make this Badam kheer, which is one of the most popular Indian desserts.

Ingredients:

Badam/Almonds                  ½ Cup
Basmati Rice                        2 Tablespoon
Whole Milk/Creamy Milk      3-4 Cups
Ghee                                     1 Tablespoon
Saffron                                10-15 strands
Sugar                                    ½-3/4 Cups
Crushed Cardamom seeds      1 Teaspoon
Almond nuts                           1 Tablespoon

Preparation of Kheer

  • Wash and soak the almonds in  boiling water for 5 hours.
  • Remove the skin grind with little milk to make a fine paste.
  • Take a deep bottomed frying pan and add the ghee to it. Let it get heated over a low flame. Add the rice to the pan and fry it lightly over a low flame. Take it down before it turns reddish.
  •  Now take another deep bottomed Pan over the gas oven and pour the milk into it. Keep it on a medium flame. Now keep stirring it slowly and bring it to simmer once the milk starts boiling. Drop the crushed cardamom seeds into the milk.  Add the rice and saffron and let it cook in low heat until it reduced into almost half. Keep on stirring in between.
  • Now add the grounded Almond paste into the boiling milk. Stir well.
  • Add sugar and Cook again until the Kheer thickens to desire consistency. Turn off the gas oven.
  • Garnish with saffron strands.
  • Serve hot or Cold.
  • Serve this Kheer with scoop of vanilla ice-cream for Kids. 


Notes:
  • Add ½ cup of grated Paneer or Khoya to make Kheer richer.
  • You can use almond flour instead of Almond Paste.
  • The consistency of kheer will turn thick when it chills.
