Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup almonds, soaked overnight
  • 4 cups of A2 milk
  • ½ tbsp organic jaggery to taste
  • A pinch of saffron strands
  • ¼ tsp cardamom powder, for flavor
  • Chopped nuts, cashew nuts, pistachios, for garnishing

Method
 

  1. Grind the pre-soaked almonds into a fine paste using a little A2 milk.
  2. In a pan, heat the remaining milk and let it come to a boil.
  3. Add the almond paste and stir well. Simmer on low heat for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Add saffron strands and cardamom powder to the kheer and mix.
  5. Sweeten the kheer with jaggery, adjusting the amount to your taste preference.
  6. Continue to cook until the kheer thickens to the desired consistency.
  7. Remove from heat and let it cool.
  8. Garnish with chopped nuts before serving.
Power tips and variations
  1. One can use coconut milk as an alternative to A2 milk. The coconut flavor pairs well with the almond's nuttiness, creating a delightful twist on the traditional recipe.
  2. To incorporate dates instead of jaggery, you can soak them in warm water to soften them and then blend them into a paste.

Notes

  • Almonds are rich in healthy fats, fiber, vitamin E, magnesium, and protein.
  • A2 cow milk is a rich source of beta-casein protein. Also, it contains minerals such as calcium, potassium, and phosphorus, which aid strong bones and teeth, better functioning of muscles, and regulation of blood pressure.
