This kheer is a great make-ahead dessert. I often make it the night before and then serve it chilled the next day.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my kheer turned out grainy. It was still edible, but it wasn't as creamy as I hoped.

I had some trouble finding cardamom and saffron, but I was able to find them at my local Indian grocery store.
