Ingredients
  

  • 500 ml of Milk
  • 200 g Paneer (grated)
  • 1/2 to 1 cup of Sugar (adjust to your taste)
  • 1 tsp Green Cardamom, Nutmeg, Sugar Powder
  • Almonds, cashews, and pistachios (roughly grated or chopped)
  • Saffron Strands: a few (optional, for colour and flavour)

Instructions
 

  • Heat 1/2 litre of pre-boiled and cooled milk in a pot. Let it come to a good boil. Once boiling, reduce the flame to low.
  • Grate 200 grams of paneer using a fine grater. Add the grated paneer to the boiling milk. Increase the flame to medium and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the paneer is well incorporated and the mixture thickens.
  • Lower the flame to low to prevent the milk from overflowing. Add sugar according to your taste. Stir well to dissolve the sugar. Continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes after adding sugar, stirring continuously as the mixture tends to rise. The kheer will thicken further and reduce by about half.
  • Add freshly crushed cardamom and nutmeg powder. Add grated or finely chopped almonds, cashews, and pistachios. Optionally, add a few saffron strands for colour and enhanced flavour.
  • Bring the kheer to a final boil after adding all the ingredients. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • The kheer is ready when it reaches a thick, creamy consistency. It will thicken even more as it cools. You can serve it chilled or warm.
