What is Pista Badam Kheer?

 

Kheer is a famous wet pudding and sweet dish in the Indian subcontinent that is often produced by boiling rice, milk, sugar, or jaggery. Typically, it is flavoured with desiccated coconut, cardamom, raisins, saffron, cashews, pistachios, almonds, or other dry fruits and nuts. Recently, pseudograins have become more widely used as flavourings. Usually, it is offered as a dessert. 

 

It was a concoction of rice, milk, and sugar that was first mentioned in ancient Indian literature and has persisted for more than two thousand years. It is offered to worshippers in temples called prasad.

2. Let the milk and rice cook on low heat. While the rice cooks and a layer of malai starts to form on top, carefully pull and stick the malai to the side of the pot using a silicone spatula. Keep on doing this, till the milk is reduced to almost half its original quantity.

3. Let the rice cook for about an hour, stirring occasionally and skimming the malai to the sides. Once the milk is reduced, scrape off the malai and mix it back into the rice and milk mixture.
