Preparation Steps

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!
