Wash the rice nicely and keep it aside.
Heat milk in a heavy-bottomed pot. After the first boil, add rice, chopped dry fruits, and cardamom powder.
Cook on a low- medium flame for at least 30 minutes. Keep on stirring in between so that it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.
Once the kheer looks thick and creamy, switch off the gas. Allow the kheer to cool down for around 4-5 minutes.
Now add the jaggery powder, and mix well.
Garnish with chopped dry fruits and serve warm or chilled.
