INGREDIENTS
*5 cup Milk / मिल्क
*1/4 cup Barnyard Millet/ Samak Rice/ समा के चावल/ bhagar
*1/2 tbsp Ghee / घी
*3 tbsp chopped Almonds / बादाम
*3 tbsp chopped Cashew / काजू
*2 tbsp chopped pistachios / पिस्ता
*3 tbsp raisin / किशमिश
*1/2 tsp crushed or powdered Cardamom / एलाइची
*pinch of Saffron / केसर
*1/2 cup seedless Dates / खजूर and 1 cup hot milk / मिल्क to soak the dates
INSTRUCTIONS
1- In a medium sized bowl, add dates along with a cup of hot milk and let them soak for 10-15 minutes or till the dates turn soft and tender. Add the dates in a blender along with the milk, and blend till smooth and creamy. Keep this aside.
2- Heat up ghee in a low-medium heated pan. Add millet, stir and roast for around 3-4 minutes till aromatic. Allow to cool for sometime.
3- Now heat up milk on low heated pan. Add in the roasted millet followed by almonds, cashews, pistachios, and saffron and cook till the milk thickens and the millet is completely cooked ( it takes about 15-20 minutes ). Stir at intervals so that the millet doesn’t get burned and stick to the bottom.
4- Once the kheer thickens and seems like almost done, add cardamom, raisins and the dates purée. Mix well and Stir constantly for around 2 more minutes. Date purée is going to thicken it up further more. Turn off the heat, transfer the kheer in a serving bowl, garnish with more nuts and enjoy!!
