How to make millet kheer?
First of all, you need to boil milk and keep cooking it for three to four minutes. While this is happening, in a shallow pan, take a tablespoon of Ganesh desi ghee, add pistachios, almonds, cashew nuts, or any other dry fruits you want saute it for a minute or two, and transfer it to a plate.
Then heat the remaining Ganesh desi ghee add the cup of millet and saute it for 2 to 3 minutes. Then transfer it to the pan of boiling milk and mix everything. Make sure that you occasionally stir the mixture.
Let this mixture cook for 15-20 minutes until it thickens a little and then add sugar and mix properly. A healthier suggestion here would be to add jaggery powder instead of sugar.
Add nutmeg powder, green cardamom powder, roasted nuts, and the roasted nuts and mix everything till it is combined into a heavenly mixture.
