Rose petals to garnish (optional)

Direction:-

2. Put the milk, condensed milk and sugar in a deep, thick-bottomed pan and boil. When the milk comes to a boil, add the rice and simmer. Cook till the milk thickens and reduces to half its original volume.

3. Add the almonds, raisins and cardamom and cook for 5 more minutes.

4. Turn off the fire and add the saffron. Stir well.

5. Allow the kheer to cool, then chill. Serve cold garnished with rose petals and dry fuits!
