Two ways of making the badam kheer recipe

There are two different ways to make this badam kheer recipe. One is where you soak the almond, peel and grind it into a fine paste and add it to milk.

The other method is where you just make a fine powder of almonds and mix it to milk. If you do not like to remove the skin from the almond, then powdering the almonds will be a better option.

In this recipe, I have gone with the first method where I have soaked the almonds and removed the skin from it.

But it is entirely up to you how you would like to make it. It is more of a personal preference. There won’t be much difference in taste though. If you would like to use the second method, then dry grind the almonds to a fine powder. Finally, you can mix this with milk and boil till it thickens.
