• 12 nos. Almonds
• 4 tablespoons Rice flour
• 21/2 cups Milk
• 5 tablespoons Sugar
• 8 strands Saffron
• 1 teaspoon Cardamom powder

Blanch and grind the almonds to a fine paste with 1/2 cup milk. Mix together the ground almond paste and rice flour and keep aside.

Bring the milk to a boil. Add the sugar and stir till the sugar dissolves. Keep aside a tablespoon of hot milk and dissolve the saffron in it. Add the almond-rice mixture into the boiling milk along with the saffron.

Stir continuously for a few mintues till the milk thickens and attains a custard-like consistency. Sprinkle in the cardamom powder. Take off fire and cool to room temperature.

Pour into individual bowls, garnish with almonds and pistachios and refrigerate.
