Kheerni is thickened milk with Cardamoms, Saffron and a number of rich mild spices. Basically it is the Indian version of rice pudding. But here we will be adding Sabudana instead of rice. Kheerni can be made of Rice, Semiya or Sabudana.



Ingredients (Serves 2)
250 gms half and half cream (10% milk) or Whipping Cream (35%)
250 gms milk (I used 2%)
1 tsp cardamom powder or 2 cardamom pods
1/4 cup Sabudana
1/4 cup sugar (reduce or add more sugar according to taste)
3 tablespoons blanched slivered almond

Method

1. Wash the sabudana in a sieve, under running water. Keep Aside to let the water drain completely.
   
2. Pour the cream and 2% milk into a wide and thick pan.
   
3. Add the cardamom pods/powder and bring to a boil without letting the milk spill over.
   
4. Quickly turn heat to medium.
   
5. Add the sabudana slowly into the pan, stirring occasionally.
   
6. Add the sugar.
   
7. Stir now cook on medium heat for about 45 minutes or till the sabudanas are cooked and the kheerni thickened. Keep stirring occasionally.
   
8. Add the almonds. Serve hot or cold
