- Soak ½ cup almonds in 1 cup water for 5-6 hours. Peel the skin of the almonds and add them to a blender along with ½ cup milk. Blend to make a smooth paste. Don’t bother if there are small pieces of almonds in the paste. They will add to the texture of the kheer Add the remaining milk to a heavy bottom pan and bring it to a boil on medium heat. Stir frequently. Once the milk comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low and add 10-15 strands of saffron to the pan and mix well. Cook for 4-5 minutes. Keep stirring frequently. Now add the almond paste to the pan and cook on low heat until the kheer thickens (15-20 minutes). Keep scraping the sides of the pan and add the solidified milk back to the pan. Once the kheer is thickened, stir in ¼ cup sugar and ½ teaspoon cardamom powder and cook for another 5 minutes. Garnish the kheer with slivered almonds and pistachios and dried rose petals and serve hot or chilled.
