Tapioca kheer

Serves 2 Ingredients:

3 cups whole milk ¼ cup of tapioca a large pinch of saffron white sugar, to taste ½ tsp ground cardamom ¼ tsp ground nutmeg 2 tbsp slivered almonds 2 tbsp crushed pistachios

Method:

In a bowl, soak the tapioca in cold water. It should be completely immersed in the water.

Meanwhile, take a heavybased saucepan and bring the milk to the boil.

Once it reaches boiling point, drain the tapioca in a sieve and add it directly to the milk, along with the saffron, sugar, ground cardamom and nutmeg.

Let it simmer, stirring occasionally, so the milk or tapioca doesn’t catch at the bottom.

Once the tapioca turns translucent, take off the heat and serve in bowls sprinkled with the slivered almonds and pistachios.
