INGREDIENTS

(Serves 1 small bowl; Preparation time - 5 minutes)

1. Wheat flour - 1½ spoons (I used Ashirvaad atta)
2. Milk - 250 ml (Boiled)
3. Sugar - 3 to 4 spoons 
4. Finely chopped almonds / Chopped cashews - 2 spoons
5. Raisins (Dry grapes) - Few (Optional) 
6. Cardamom pods - 2 (crushed)
7. Rose essence - 2 drops 
8. Ghee - 3 to 4 spoons 

PREPARATION METHOD

• Heat a sauce pan /wok and add ghee to it. Now add the chopped almonds or cashews, crushed cardamom pods and saute for a minute on low flame. Then add the raisins and wait until it puffs up. 
• Now add the wheat flour and stir well so that it forms a paste. Keep stirring to avoid lumps. Cook on low flame.
• After a minute of stirring pour milk and stir well so that the paste gets mixed well, you won't have any trouble with this. 
• Now add the sugar and keep stirring.
• After a few minutes the mixture will start to thicken, at this stage add the rose essence and stir well for a few seconds. Now remove from flame. Don't thicken it too much. 
• Serve!! 

TIP 1: I've added saffron mixture (add a pinch of Saffron/Kunguma poo to 1 spoon of warm milk and mix well) to kheer just before serving. You can add or avoid as per your wish. 

TIP 2: I used almonds (badam) you can use any of the available nuts and prepare this kheer/payasam. Cashews tastes good too. 

TIP 3: Don't let it thicken too much it will lose the kheer consistency.  

TIP 4: You can also use vanilla essence instead of rose essence.
