How to Make Mango Kheer

  1. Peel the mangoes and puree the pulp using a blender or food processor. Sieve the puree to remove any fibers, if desired.
  2. In a medium-sized, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the mango puree and 2 cups of water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  3. In a separate small saucepan, prepare a simple sugar syrup by combining the sugar and ¼ cup of water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the syrup slightly thickens.
  4. Add the sugar syrup to the simmering mango mixture. Stir continuously to prevent sticking.
  5. Pour in the milk and stir well to combine. Add cardamom powder (if using).
  6. Continue to simmer over low heat, stirring frequently, until the kheer thickens to your desired consistency (about 20-25 minutes). It should coat the back of a spoon.
  7. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  8. Garnish with chopped nuts and serve chilled or at room temperature.
