1. 1Step 1: Pour the milk into a pot and bring to a soft simmer on medium heat.
2. 2Step 2: While the milk is heating, put the cardamom pods into a plastic bag and beat them with a rolling pin until the black seeds inside are released. Discard the skins.
3. 3Step 3: Once the milk is simmering, add in the rest of the ingredients. Allow it to simmer, uncovered, for 1.5 hours or until your desired consistency is reached.
4. 4Step 4: Stir the kheer often and scrape the bottom of the pot to prevent sticking. If a filmy layer (malai) forms on top, mix it in. Don't worry if stirring breaks some of the rice - this will give the kheer a good texture.
5. 5Step 5: When the kheer is done, garnish with nuts and/or dried fruit. Enjoy!
