Ingredients

  • ¼ cup almonds | badam
  • 3 cups milk
  • Few strands saffron
  • 4 tbsp sugar
  • 3 tbsp condensed milk
  • ¼ cup milk to grind the almonds

Instructions

  • Heat water in a saucepan and allow this to boil.
  • Once it starts boiling, add the almonds to this.
  • Let this boil for 2 minutes.
  • Switch off the flame and let this sit for 20 minutes.
  • Now take out the skin. The skin comes off easily when we follow this method.
  • If you soak almonds in hot water (without boiling them for few minutes), it needs extra soaking time.
  • Grind this into a fine paste by adding 1/4 cup of plain milk to this.
  • Soak saffron in 2 tbsp of room temperature milk.
  • Add 3 cups of milk in a saucepan.
  • Let this boil. Add the saffron milk to this.
  • Mix well and let this boil for 15 minutes in a low flame.
  • Add the condensed milk to this.
  • Mix well.
  • Add the ground badam paste and sugar.
  • Mix well and immediately switch off the flame.
  • Do not allow this to boil after adding the badam mixture. It will curdle the milk.
  • Allow this to come to room temperature.
  • Keep this in fridge for 4-5 hours and serve chilled.

Notes

1. Do not reheat the badam kheer, it will get curdled.
2. If you do not want to condensed milk, add little extra sugar. Also, boil the milk for 10 minutes extra to get a nice texture.
3. Add a few drops of yellow food color to get a golden color
4. Badam milk | badam kheer tastes yum when served chill.
