I dont need any special occasion to make a dessert!! Do u?? This Badam Kheer is one such rich and creamy dessert that appeared in my kitchen for no reason  Though I have tasted it many times, never tried at home during recent times. It can be made with less effort too. The only job in this is to soak and peel the almonds. If u can get blanched almonds like me, this is a super-easy and quick treat for sudden cravings!!

Now to the recipe…

Tips:

  1. Adjust sugar according to your preference.
  2. After adding the badam paste, it will start thickening. Make sure to mix well often, else it will get burnt in the bottom and spoil the whole taste.
  3. Cardamom powder and saffron give a nice flavour. I would recommend not to skip both.
  4. If u are using almonds with skin, soak it in warm water for 15-30 mins. Peel the skin and then proceed with the rest of the procedure.
