If there is one dessert that screams comfort, festivity, and pure indulgence, it is Badam Kheer. This rich, creamy almond rice pudding is a staple at weddings, Eid, Diwali, and family get-togethers. Traditionally, making an authentic kheer requires hours of slowly simmering milk, grinding soaked rice, and blanching almonds.

But what if you are craving that authentic taste but are short on time?

Today, I’m sharing my ultimate shortcut to making rich, luscious Badam Kheer in record time without compromising on that traditional, slow-cooked flavor!

📝 Ingredients You Will Need for Badam Kheer

• 1 Packet of Shan Badam Kheer Mix (150g)
• 1 Liter of Full-Fat Milk (Whole milk gives the best, creamiest texture!)
• A handful of slivered almonds and pistachios (optional, for extra garnish)
• Edible silver leaf (Chandi ka warq) for a festive presentation (optional)

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Boil the Milk

Pour 1 liter of full-fat milk into a heavy-bottomed pot. Place it on medium-high heat and bring it to a rolling boil. Tip: Stir occasionally to prevent the milk from catching at the bottom.

Step 2: Add the Magic Mix

Once the milk is boiling, lower the heat to a gentle simmer. Gradually pour in the entire packet of Shan Badam Kheer Mix.

Step 3: Simmer and Stir

Stir continuously for the first minute to ensure no lumps form. Let the mixture cook on low-medium heat for about 15 to 20 minutes. You will notice the milk reducing and the kheer thickening into a beautiful, creamy consistency. Keep stirring frequently!

Step 4: The Cooling Process

Once it coats the back of a spoon thickly, turn off the heat. Remember, kheer naturally thickens even more as it cools down!

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

Transfer the warm kheer into individual serving bowls or one large traditional terracotta dish (thooti or matka). Garnish generously with freshly slivered almonds and pistachios.

How to Serve

While some people love warm kheer right off the stove, Badam Kheer is traditionally best enjoyed chilled. Pop your serving bowls into the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.

There you have it—a decadent, traditional dessert ready in just 20 minutes of active cooking. Don’t forget to grab your Shan Badam Kheer Mix Pack of 2 so you’re always ready to whip up this crowd-pleasing dessert!
