Ingredients

  • 2 cups full cream milk
  • ½ cup fine vermicelli (loosely packed)
  • ½ cup condensed milk (replace with ⅓ cup sugar)
  • ¼ teaspoon rose essence / kewra water
  • ¼ teaspoon cardamom powder
  • 5 strands saffron
  • 2 teaspoon ghee

Nuts and Dry fruits:

  • 1 tablespoon cashews
  • 1 tablespoon almonds
  • ½ tablespoon raisins
  • 1 tablespoon dates

Instructions

  • Heat 2 teaspoon ghee in a pan add all the nuts and dry fruits fry until golden - 1 tablespoon each of cashews, almonds, pistachios, dates and ½ tablespoon raisins. Remove to a plate and set aside.
  • In the same pan add ½ cup vermicelli and roast it.
  • Roast until golden. Do not burn be careful as the vermicelli is thin it can burn easily.
  • Set aside to cool in a plate.
  • To a pan add 2 cups full fat milk, let it boil then simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Then add fried dry fruits and nuts(reserve a tablespoon for garnish) and roasted vermicelli.
  • Mix well and cook. As its fine vermicelli gets cooked in just 2-3 minutes so keep an eye.

  • Add 5 strands saffron and ¼ teaspoon cardamom powder.
  • Add ¼ teaspoon rose essence. Mix it well.
  • Let it simmer for few mins until slightly thick and creamy.

Notes

  • The kheer thickens with time so switch it off accordingly.
  • Add chiroli nuts if you like.
  • You can skip condensed milk and replace it with ⅓ cup sugar too.
  • If it gets thick after cooling add ½ cup boiled hot milk to thin it while serving if needed.
  • If planning to serve it chilled then switch off when it is slightly runny itself as it tends to thicken a lot when refrigerated. ou can add any dry fruits and nuts you like.
  • Replace condensed milk with ⅓ cup sugar.
  • Condensed milk adds more creaminess and richness to the dessert.
  • If you do not have rose essence you can add rose water or kewra water too.
  • I added saffron as such in hot milk itself, but you can soak in hot milk and add it too.
