Badam Kheer

Sweet almond drink

Badam (Almond) kheer is a popular drink in India. Almonds are often referred to as “the king of nuts” because of their high nutritional value. They are a very good source of vitamin E and mono-unsaturated fats, which have been associated with reduced risk of heart disease. 

​

Liquid desserts are satiating, thus limiting the calorie intake.

  1. Grind almond meal, sugar and flour with ½ cup milk to a smooth paste.  

  2. Mix the paste with 3 ½ cups milk, saffron and cardamom in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 8-10 minutes stirring frequently.

Serve hot or chilled

 

Tips and variations: 

  • For a rich, nutty taste use whole almonds instead of almond meal. Blanch almonds and grind with milk to a smooth paste.

  • Use 6-8 pitted medjool dates instead of brown sugar.
