Instructions
Instant Pot Method
- Sanitize the instant pot thoroughly by cleaning all the parts.
- Heat the instant pot in saute mode. Add ghee and let it melt.
- Add rolled oats. Stir and saute for 2 minutes until you get the aroma of roasted oats.
- Add milk, water, sugar, saffron and cardamom. Press Cancel and close the lid with the vent in the sealing position.
- Set to manual or pressure cook mode at high pressure for 1 minute. When the cooking time is done, then let the pressure release naturally.
- Open the lid and stir the kheer. This kheer thickens as it cools.
- Garnish with more saffron, nuts, and raisins to your liking. This Oats Kheer is delicious and can be served hot or chilled.
Stovetop Method
- Heat a heavy bottom pan on medium heat. Add ghee to it and let it melt.
- Add the rolled oats and sauté them well till you get the aroma of roasted oats.
- Add water and whole milk to the pan and stir well.
- Simmer on a low flame and cook till the oats become soft and mushy. Keep stirring at regular intervals.
- Once the oats have reached the desired consistency, add the cardamom and roasted nuts, along with a pinch of saffron.
- Simmer for 2 more minutes and then switch off the stovetop. Enjoy the Oats Kheer.

Notes
- Sanitize the instant pot thoroughly: the steel insert, lid, and sealing ring. If you have an extra sealing ring for sweet foods, use it.
- Sugar Substitute: Although I have not tried it myself, some readers have suggested that if using jaggery in place of sugar, it should be added after pressure cooking (else the milk can curdle).
- Using steel-cut oats: Follow the same process and cook on high pressure for 4 minutes, followed by a natural pressure release.
- Roasted Nuts: If you don't have already roasted nuts. Add 1 tbsp of ghee to the instant pot and sauté the nuts for about a minute. Then, follow the recipe.
- Consistency: This kheer thickens a lot as it cools. So you can add more milk to adjust the consistency before serving.
- Vegan Variation: Substitute milk with almond milk or another plant-based milk.
