KHEER
An all time favourite dessert.. Easy to make and normally liked by everyone!! So basically if you are confused as to what dessert should be made when guests are coming of different age groups, normally you can never go wrong with kheer!!
Ingredients:

• Full cream milk- 1 litre
• Rice- 1 cup (my measurement is 1 fist in 1 litre milk)
• Sugar- Heaped 1 cup (or as per taste)
• Saffron strands- 3, soaked in 1 tsp hot milk
• Green cardamom powder with skin- 2
• Sliced almond and pistachio for garnishing

Method:

• In a heavy bottomed pan, put the milk to boil, stirring occasionally so that it doesnt get stuck at the bottom of the pan.
• Keep boiling the milk for a good 20 minutes.
• Add the green cardamom powder.
• Wash the rice and put this in the boiling milk and stir well.
• Stir occasionally for another 20-25 minutes till the rice is done.
• Rub the soaked saffron using a mortar and a pestle and pour this in the milk.
• Add the sugar and stir again till the sugar gets dissolved.
• Garnish with chopped almonds and serve hot or chilled as desired!

Note: Sugar should be added only when the rice is completely done, else the rice might remain hard.
Kheer can also be kept in the refrigerator for a day! The consistency might change a bit, which can be corrected by adding little more milk before serving!
