Combine the milk, rice, cardamom, condensed milk or sugar and saffron in a microwave proof dish and cook in the MICROWAVE mode for 10 minutes at 850 W.In a small oven-proof bowl, heat the ghee for 1 minute using the FORCED AIR mode.

Add the dried fruits and cook for 2 minutes. Mix half the nuts into the kheer and use the reserved half to garnish the kheer. Cook the kheer for another 10 minutes at the same wattage.
