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, then drain.
2
Cook the Rice
In a large pot, add the soaked rice and 4 cups of milk. Cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the rice is tender (about 15-20 minutes).
3
Add Flavorings
Once the rice is cooked, add sugar, crushed cardamom pods, saffron strands, and vanilla extract. Stir well and let it simmer for another 5-10 minutes until it thickens slightly.
4
Add Nuts and Raisins
Stir in the chopped nuts and raisins. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
5
Serve
Let the kheer cool slightly before serving. It can be enjoyed warm or chilled.
