Here's another quick and easy Mithai recipe.
Kheer is the integral part of Indian festive thali.The main ingredients of kheer is milk.And the taste can be varied by changing the combination. It can be of rice .makhana ,sabudana ,and sewaiyan..Let us make sewaiyan kheer.

1 table spoon ghee
Sugar  1/2 cup
saffron  a pinch
10 almonds
10 pistachios
6 pods of cardamom
Soak the saffron in a cup with 2 teaspoon of water
micowave the almonds and pistachio for 20 minutes and then break  or cut into pieces .Remove the cardamom seeds from the pods and ground in fine powder.

In a non stick pan pour ghee and put it on the flame. Add sewaiyan and start stirring till the sewaiyan turns golden brown. It will take less than 5 minutes. Remove from the flame.

Pour the milk in big thick bottomed pan and put it on the flame. When milk starts boiling then pour roasted sewaiyan in the boiling milk. Stir occasionally taking care that it does not stick to the bottom.Let it boil for next 10 minutes so the kheer gets a thick consistency.
