- Add Eleven Basmati rice to the milk and let it cook for 30-40 minutes on low flame.
- Simultaneously, warm a tablespoon milk and add saffron strands to it. You will see the milk turning into a beautiful yellow color. Keep it aside for infusion.

- Once the milk is thick and sugar is dissolved, add cardamom powder. Keep stirring the kheer slowly so it doesn’t stick.

- Finally, add almonds, raisins, and pistachios and let the kheer cook for another 10 minutes on medium flame.
- Garnish it with saffron strands and pistachios.
