DIY - Kheer or payasam

Take required quantity of chirroti rava in a vessel and mix water to obtain a dough similar to poori dough.  

Let the dough settle for at least two hours.  Knead the dough and using a rolling pin flatten as we do for poori or roti.  Cut the dough  with a suitable cutter in two directions to obtain square or rhombus shaped pieces and fry them in ghee (if you dont have objection to calories ) else use cooking oil. Boil milk  and use flame in "sim" position. Add cardomom powder, saffron to it.  Now add the fried dough pieces to the milk and stir for a few minutes. Add required quantity of sugar.  Fry cashewnuts, raisins and add them to the kheer.  Your special kheer as shown in the photo below is ready to serve (and eat!)
