  • Dont make a smooth powder just grind it coarsely. Then transfer it to a bowl and in the same grinder put the bread slices and grind it to make a crumb. Now to the kheer add the khoya/mawa or milk powder and the bread crumbs along with half if the thandai powder and mix very well. At this point stir it continuously else it will stick to the bottom. When start to thicken up add rest of the thandai powder and mix really well. Off the flame once you get the desired consistency.
  • It will become more thick once it will cool down. Transfer it to a container and keep it in the refrigerator. Tastes best when cool down. Instead of thick cream you can use milk cream also and instead of condensed milk you can use sugar also but it gives a creamy texture to the dish. You can adjust sugar as per your taste. You can make thandai powder in advance and can keep in refrigerator for about a week. This Kheer can also be stored in the refrigerator for 6-7 days.
  • This will come out so delicious that everyone will like it with the flavour of thandai and a beautiful colour of saffron. If you don't have saffron you can use 1/4 tsp of turmeric powder also. Do try this recipe and enjoy with your loved ones. Happy Cooking šŸ˜Š
