Badam kheer or almond payasam is a traditional South Indian dessert that has the goodness of milk and almonds. It also contains saffron and cardamom that amp up the flavour. Here is how you can make it at home.
3 cups full-fat milk ¼ cup almonds 3 crushed cardamom pods 4-5 tbsp sugar A pinch of saffron 2 tbsp chopped pistachios
Soak almonds in hot water for at least 30 minutes. Wash them under cold water and peel their skin.
Grind almonds with half a cup of milk.
Meanwhile, heat the rest of the milk.
Once the milk is hot, add sugar to it.
After stirring for 5 minutes, pour the almond paste into the pan.
Turn off the flame after 15 minutes, and garnish the almond kheer with pistachios, saffron, and cardamom.
