For the Kheer

Instructions
Let us make the payasam/kheer mix
- Heat a kadai, add rice and dal to it and roast until they turn golden brown. Keep the flame simmer and roast. High flame will burn the rice and dal.
- Towards the end, add almonds and cashewnuts and roast for 30 seconds.
- Finally add dessicated coconut and roast for another 30 seconds and remove it from stove. Do not roast after adding coconut as it might.
- Transfer the ingredients to a flat plate, add cardamom and cloves to it. Let it cool completely. Take the roasted ingredients in a mixer and grind
- While grinding, do not grind continuously. Pulse and grind. Since we have added nuts and coconut, grinding continously will make it a paste. Pulse and grind to a finely coarse mix.
- Finally add sugar to this and pulse once again. Transfer the ground ingredients to a flat plate, let it cool down. Store this mix in a clean glass jar and refrigerate.
