kheer- Rice porridge

1 litre milk
1/3 cup rice
1/3 cup sugar or more
few strands saffron
few cardamoms peeled & crushed
few almonds & pistachios, sliced


Bring the milk to a boil.
Add washed rice to it & gently stir.
Simmer until the rice is cooked & soft, stirring now & then in between to avoid sticking to the bottom. For a thicker & richer kheer its a good idea to overcook the rice.
Rub the saffron with 1 tsp of milk & add it to the kheer. Add sugar. Adjust sweetness to your taste and Simmer for another few minutes.
Garnished with sliced nuts & cardomom powder.
Serve warm or chilled as per your taste.
I personally like it chilled.
Kheer can be served just like that or popular accompaniments include poori or jalebi.
