Badam Kheer | Badam Payasam | Almond porridge

Wishing you all a very happy Janmashtami 🙂

I wanted to try an easy yet delicious kheer to offer lord Krishna on this auspicious day. The first recipe that came to my mind is the simple and tasty badam kheer! With my little naughty Krishna around, I couldn’t make any bakshanams. All that we could do was – A simple pooja, lots of bhakthi and a simple kheer for neivedhyam 🙂

Hope you enjoy this virtual treat!!

Ingredients:

Badam (Almond): 35-40 count
Milk: 3 cups (250 ml approx)
