Method
1. Bring the milk and sugar to a simmer in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan or flameproof casserole dish. Rinse the rice under cold water, then stir into the milk. Simmer for 20-25 mins until the liquid has reduced by half and the rice is fully cooked. Stir the rice regularly and remove any skin forming during the cooking time.
2. When the rice has cooked, stir in the condensed milk and cardamom for 1 min. Serve warm or cold, with the nuts scattered over the top. The kheer thickens when cooled, so you can add a little extra milk, if you like, to loosen it up.
