Instructions
 

Roast the Gram Flour

  • Add ghee to a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. Add the gram flour and roast, stirring constantly, until fragrant and lightly golden brown. Be careful not to burn it.

Prepare the Kheer

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the lukewarm water and roasted gram flour until smooth, ensuring no lumps remain.

Combine and Simmer

  • Pour the milk into the pan with the roasted gram flour mixture. Add sugar and cardamom powder. Stir well to combine.
  • Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the kheer thickens to your desired consistency.

Garnish and Serve

  • Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Garnish generously with chopped cashews, almonds, pistachios, and chironji. Serve warm or chilled.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Best Besan Ki Kheer:

  • For a richer flavor, use full-fat milk.
  • Toasting the gram flour is crucial; it enhances the nutty aroma and prevents a raw flour taste.
  • Adjust the sugar to your preference. Taste and add more if needed.
  • If you prefer a smoother kheer, you can blend it briefly after cooking using an immersion blender.
