1
Soak the Rice
Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for about 30 minutes, then drain and set aside.
2
Cook the Rice
In a large saucepan, bring the milk to a boil over medium heat. Add the soaked and drained basmati rice to the boiling milk and reduce the heat to low.
3
Simmer
Simmer the rice in milk for about 30-35 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Cook until the rice is tender and the mixture thickens.
4
Add Sweetness and Flavor
Stir in the sugar, cardamom powder, vanilla extract, saffron strands, and raisins. Mix well and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
5
Add Nuts
Remove from heat and stir in the chopped nuts. Reserve some for garnish if desired.
6
Serve
Serve warm or chilled, garnished with reserved nuts. Enjoy your delicious Basmati Kheer!
