Zaffrani Kheer

Zaffrani Kheer is a traditional Indian rice pudding flavored with saffron, which gives it a rich golden color and distinct aroma. Made by boiling rice until soft in milk, it is sweetened with sugar and often garnished with nuts like almonds and pistachios. Saffron not only enhances the flavor but also adds a subtle medicinal quality, making the dish both festive and comforting. It is commonly served during celebrations and religious occasions, appreciated for its aromatic, creamy texture, and delicate balance of flavors.
