Here’s a delicious mango kheer recipe simplified into 7 steps:

Prepare mangoes: Peel and dice the mangoes. Keep a few small pieces aside for garnish.

Blend mangoes: In a blender, puree the diced mangoes until smooth. Set aside.

Cook rice: Drain the soaked rice. In a heavy-bottomed pan, bring milk to a boil. Add the soaked rice to the boiling milk. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice is fully cooked and the milk has reduced and thickened.

Add mango puree: Once the rice is cooked and the mixture has thickened to a creamy consistency, add the mango puree. Mix well to combine.

Sweeten the kheer: Add sugar to the kheer and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Adjust sweetness according to your taste.

Flavor with cardamom: Add cardamom powder to the kheer for a delightful aroma and flavor. Stir well to incorporate.

Serve: Remove the kheer from heat and let it cool slightly. Serve mango kheer warm or chilled, garnished with saffron strands, chopped nuts, and reserved mango pieces.
