SAFFRONY SAMVAT KHEER

One more fasting dessert is here..

Samo/Samvat/ Moraiya/Mordhan are different names for this dessert’s key ingredient. Saffron is my favourite ingredient in dessert . It’s aroma & natural colour gives any dish a different taste & look too.. Fully loaded with almonds & pistachios this kheer is enough filling food in fasting.

Ing:

1 cup Samo

1 ltr Milk

1/2 cup sugar

1 tsp saffron ( soaked in milk)

4 tbsp almond (chopped or sliced)

3 tbsp green pistachios ( chopped or sliced)

1 tsp cardamom powder

1 tbsp ghee

Method:

1. Wash sama & soak in water for few minutes.

2. Heat ghee in a non stick pan. Saute sama for 2 minutes & then add milk.

3. Once milk starts boiling ,add sugar & slow down flame. Stir occasionally.

4. Cook till milk is reduced to half quantity & Sama is also properly cooked.

5. Now add saffron, almonds, pistachios & cardamom powder. Cook for few more minutes.

6. Serve hot or chilled as per your choice.

Notes:

1. If you wish to skip Ghee then directly boil sama & milk.

2. Can add other dry fruits of your choice.
