Method:
For Surface Dough:

2. Stir the mixture continuously with a wooden spatula to ensure it becomes smooth and creamy.
3. Allow the mixture to cool and rest for 3-4 hours until it thickens and forms a dough-like consistency.
For Filling:

2. Cook the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and reaches a coagulated consistency.
3. Add cardamom powder and mix well. Remove from heat and let it cool.
For Assembling:
1. Take a steel or wooden plate and mash the prepared outer surface dough until it forms a smooth dough.
2. Roll out the dough into an oval shape and cut it in half.
3. Place a portion of the prepared filling on one half of the dough and fold it over to form a triangular shape, similar to a samosa.
4. Seal the edges tightly to ensure the filling remains intact.
5. Decorate the Kheer Singara with silver leaves, sliced almonds, and chopped pistachios.
