· Soak the saffron and thandai powder separately in lukewarm milk.
· Boil the milk, and when it comes to a boil, reduce the flame and add the rice in the saucepan.
· Keep stirring the kheer until it reduces to one-third of the original quantity. Once done, add sugar or jaggery, condensed milk, cardamom powder, chopped nuts, thandai milk and saffron. Mix everything well and cook the Thandai Kheer for 5 minutes more.
