1
Prepare the Rice
Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for about 30 minutes.
2
Cook the Rice
In a large pot, bring the milk to a boil. Drain the soaked rice and add it to the boiling milk. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer, stirring occasionally.
3
Add Flavors
After about 15 minutes, add sugar, cardamom pods, and saffron strands to the mixture. Continue to cook until the rice is soft and the mixture thickens, about 10-15 more minutes.
4
Finish the Kheer
Stir in the chopped almonds, raisins, and rose water. Cook for another 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
5
Serve
Let the kheer cool slightly before serving. It can be served warm or chilled, garnished with additional almonds and raisins if desired.
