Santre ki Kheer

Ingredients:

3 Large Oranges (Sweet orange) peeled

5 Cups Milk, full cream

½ cup- khoya

1/2 Cup Sugar

2 Tbsp Pistachios (shredded vark leaves), blanched

12-15 Almonds (shredded), blanched

4-5 Green cardamoms

Method:

Bring the milk to a boil in a wide, heavy-based pan; add the sugar and cardamom and simmer over low heat.

Stir often enough to avoid scorching.

Simmer till the mixture is thick.

Time taken will depend on the richness of milk and your vessel.

The wider the vessel, the faster the milk will thicken.

When thick and the colour darkens a little, shut off the heat.

Cool and add pieces of orange.

Mix well, chill and serve garnished with silver leaves, almonds and pistachios.
