This version of pumpkin kheer is very easy to make.
This recipe serves 6-8 persons.
Ingredients:

- Cardamom pwd - 1/4 tsp.
- Roasted sliced almonds - for garnishing
Method:

- To the hot puree, add sugar and mix well. Set aside to cool.
- Condense the 1.5 litre milk (keep it in the pressure cooker for 20 mins on a low flame.You can drop a spoon inside the container so that the milk does not spill out of the pressure cooker)
