Tips to Make Badam Kheer

Blend almonds and cashews with saffron and cardamom to create a smooth and flavorful paste.
Boil the milk on low heat, stirring continuously, until it thickens and becomes creamy. This helps prevent Badam Kheer from burning.
Add Milkmaid according to your taste preference. Remember that the Badam Kheer will thicken as it cools, so taste it before serving to get the sweetness just right.
For a rich and creamy Badam Kheer, opt for full-fat milk.
Soak saffron strands in warm milk to enhance their colour and flavour, giving your Badam Kheer an authentic touch.
Badam Kheer tastes even more delicious when served chilled, so consider refrigerating it before serving.
For an appealing look, garnish your Badam Kheer with sliced almonds, pistachios, or a sprinkle of cardamom powder.
