3-4 tbspn Sugar or according to the sweetness you would prefer
1 litre Milk

Basmathi kheer is very creamy and has a delightful aroma, especially when seasoned with grounded cardamom, thinly sliced almond and raisins.
A dash of saffron gives the creamy dish a luminous, pale golden color.

Hope you enjoy!
