Badam kheer also known as badam payasam is a traditional South Indian pudding made with almonds, milk, sugar and cardamom powder. It can be either served chilled or hot as after meal as a dessert.
Soak saffron in little cold milk, and keep it aside.
Soak almonds in hot water for 1 hour.
Peel skin and grind the almond into a fine paste with 1 cup of milk instead of water.
Measure the amount of almond paste, and keep the same amount of sugar aside.
Cook the almond paste for 5-10 while stirring it constantly, till the flavour comes out.
Now add sugar and keep stirring.
Add the remaining milk, and boil for 10-15 minutes.
Add the soaked saffron and serve it cold.
