instructions
    1

    Rinse 1 cup of rice under cold water until it runs clear and soak it in water for about 30 minutes.

    2

    In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups of milk to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

    3

    Add the soaked rice (drained) to the boiling milk. Cook on low heat and stir frequently for about 15-20 minutes until the rice is cooked and the mixture thickens.

    4

    Stir in 3/4 cup of sugar and continue to cook on low heat for an additional 5 minutes.

    5

    Add 1/4 teaspoon of cardamom, a pinch of saffron (soaked in a tablespoon of warm milk), and mix well.

    6

    Remove from heat and let it cool. The kheer will thicken as it cools.

    7

    Before serving, garnish with 1/4 cup each of raisins and cashews.
