Badam Kheer / Almond Kheer

Any cold beverage with milk as combination, am sold for it....:) I wanted to try badam kheer since long and a days craving for it pushed me to try it. And here goes the recipe:

Badam Kheer Recipe


Ingredients:
Makes 2 small cups
  • Badam - 10
  • Milk - 1.5 cups
  • Sugar - 2 to 3 tsp
  • Saffron - 2 strings
  • Cardomom powder - 1/2 tsp
Method:
  1. Soak badam in hot water for 10mins. Now press the badams to peal the skin off.

  2. Grind the badams with 1/2 tsp of water to a fine paste and keep aside.

  3. Boil milk in a wide bottomed pan,add sugar and simmer it for 10mins so till milk becomes slightly thicker. Now add the badam paste to the milk and mix well.

  4. Add saffron strands and cardomom powder.Allow it to boil for 5more mins. By this time the mixture starts getting thicker, switch off at this stage as it gets thicker with time.

  5. Garnish with chopped almonds and Serve hot or cold.


Badam Kheer Recipe

This is a very rich and tasty dessert that can be made with less effort too. I like my kheer to be served cold. Though the traditional badam kheer recipe is peeling the skin and grinding it.Sometimes I take the shortroute of just powdering almonds, sugar and mix it with milk whenever needed. Just powder almonds with sugar,then add saffron strands and cardomom powder. Your readymade badam mix is ready!

Either ways its tasty but grinding and making badam kheer has a unique taste. Happy drinking and have a great weekend!

    Dear Sharmi,
    Your instant mix is sold in the north as Doodh masala, it surely has a few more ingredients going into it. The hot badam milk is a delicacy during winter and we all relish it almost everyday these days.
