Ingredients

• 1 liter Full-fat milk
• 0.25 cup Basmati rice
• 0.5 cup Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Cardamom powder
• 1 cup Fresh mango puree
• 0.5 cup Chopped mango pieces
• 2 tablespoons Chopped cashews
• 2 tablespoons Chopped almonds
• 8-10 strands Saffron strands
• 2 tablespoons Milk (for saffron)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the basmati rice thoroughly and soak it in water for 30 minutes. Drain the water before use.

Step 2

Heat the full-fat milk in a heavy-bottomed pot and bring it to a boil. Stir occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom.

Step 3

Once the milk boils, reduce the heat to low and add the soaked and drained basmati rice.

Step 4

Cook the rice in the milk, stirring frequently, until the rice is soft and the milk thickens slightly. This process will take about 30 minutes.

Step 5

While the rice is cooking, soak the saffron strands in 2 tablespoons of warm milk and set aside.

Step 6

Once the rice is cooked and the kheer has thickened, add sugar and stir well until it dissolves completely.

Step 7

Add cardamom powder, chopped cashews, and almonds to the kheer. Mix until combined.

Step 8

Remove the kheer from the heat and let it cool completely to room temperature.

Step 9

Once cooled, add 1 cup of fresh mango puree and mix gently. Make sure the kheer is not hot, as heat can alter the flavor of the mango puree.

Step 10

Fold in half of the chopped mango pieces for added texture.

Step 11

Garnish the kheer with the remaining mango pieces and the saffron milk.

Step 12

Refrigerate the kheer for at least 2 hours before serving for a chilled, refreshing dessert.
