ABOUT My father's special Kheerni (Dry Fruit Kheer) RECIPE

My father used to cook this kheer on his mother's shraadh each year, for almost 40+ years. I made it just a few days back for the first time ever. It was emotional for we lost him in December 2014.

Ingredients Serving: 2

500 ml full fat milk
3 tablespoon Amul fresh cream
100 gm condensed milk
2 elaichi pods
2 tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup almonds and pistachios

Instructions

Soak the almonds in boiled water for 5 minutes.
Remove and put in cold water.
This will make it easier to remove the skin.
Chop the almonds and pistachios in long slivers.
Take a heavy bottom pan on slow flame.
Add the milk, fresh cream and elaichi pods.
Let it simmer on low flame till it reduces to half quantity.
Keep on stirring every 2 minutes so that it does not stick to the sides, bottom and burn.
Add the condensed milk, sugar and cook for 5-7 minutes more.
Lastly add the almonds and pistachios. Cook for a couple of minutes.
Turn off the flame and let it stand for about 10 minutes with a lid on.
Garnish with saffron strands.
Remove the elaichi pods before serving it.
Serve hot or chilled.
