Cucumber kheer recipe, Cucumber payasam

Cucumber kheer/ Cucumber payasam is a delicious dessert loaded with flavors of cucumber, sweetness of condensed milk and sugar, crunchiness from nuts. This super easy kheer takes only 10 minutes to prepare as it requires no grinding or any soaking making it beginner friendly recipe. Also it demands very few ingredients in its making which means it is very simple and a quick fix to be accompanied with a regular thali plate. This is one of my favorite kheer in my aunt’s preparation since my school days in Dubai, imagine after a long and hot day in school she keeps this ready and we use to slurp n number of glasses. So when it is that yummy no second thoughts on giving it a try I say. so for the below recipe i used both condensed milk and sugar, so if you like the sweetness just from condensed milk you can skip sugar and increase the quantity of condensed milk and take care not to skip the almond powder part as it helps in creating new flavors to the kheer and also a little thick consistency. So lets get to the making!
