How to make Dry Fruit Kheer:First, peel off the almonds and pistachios.
Grind all dry fruits (including Khus khus) together to make a smooth paste.
Boil the milk until reduced to 3/4 of it.
Add the dry fruit paste in the boiled milk and again boil until it blends well.
Reduce the gas flame and add sugar to the mixture.
