Badam Kheer

Furthermore, I would like to share some of my suggestions for making badam kheer. Firstly, wash and soak the almonds in hot water for 5 mins. then drain and wash and soak them in cold water. Because this step will help you to peel the skin easily. Secondly, keep on stirring to prevent the milk from getting burnt while boiling. Adding of saffron in this recipe not only adds the flavor but also gives rich creamy color. Finally, once the kheer cools down, it thickens, so you can add some chilled, boiled milk and sugar to adjust the consistency.
