Another session of Blogging Marathon has started and I am here with a simple and flavorful kheer.For this series of BM I chose to cook with alphabets in different cooking methods.
For the day 1 the alphabet is C and sharing you a kheer or milk recipe made in microwave oven.I have already shared a version of carrot kheer but this version is slightly different and no need of condensed milk or evaporated milk.
I made this kheer along with the soaked almonds and the output is so yummy and delicious.You can try the same method in the stove top also.Wth no further delay lets move on to the recipe.................................

- The cooking time varies from oven to oven.
- If you want to use sweetened condensed milk,add around 3 tbs and reduce the sugar quantity.
- Cashews can also be added along with almonds.
- Use a deep,wide mouth,microwave safe bowl to avoid spilling.
