Recipe
1
Heat the full-fat milk in a heavy-bottomed deep pan and bring it to a boil over medium heat.
2
Reduce the heat and let the milk simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally so it thickens slightly.
3
Add the washed and drained sanwank rice to the simmering milk and stir well.
4
Cook on low to medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking at the bottom, until the millet is completely soft and cooked through.
5
Add sugar, green cardamom powder, and saffron strands, mixing thoroughly until the sugar dissolves completely.
6
Simmer the kheer for another 5 minutes until it achieves a creamy, desired consistency.
7
Garnish with slivered almonds, fried cashews, and raisins.
8
Serve warm or chilled according to preference.
