Method

  1. Wash the rice well and soak it in water for 15 to 20 minutes, then drain.
  2. Soak the saffron strands in a spoon of warm milk or water and keep aside.
  3. Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed pan on low flame, add the drained rice and roast lightly for 2 minutes, stirring gently.
  4. Add enough water and a pinch of salt, cover and cook on low flame until the rice turns completely soft and starts breaking down slightly.
  5. Add the sugar and mix well, continuing to simmer on low flame, stirring often so it does not stick to the bottom.
  6. Add the soaked saffron and let the kheer simmer until it thickens to a nice liquid, pouring consistency, about 10 to 15 minutes more.
  7. Turn off the flame, crush the cardamom lightly and stir it in for aroma.
  8. Garnish with the cardamom and serve the kheer warm or chilled.
