Instructions

Refrigeration time- 01 hour.
In a heavy bottomed pan, add milk, bring to a boil. Add the sugar and cardamom powder and simmer over a low flame.
Do not stir too often, as a layer of cream should form over it. After the layer is formed, keep pushing it away from the sides towards the centre with the help of a wooden spatula.
Keep stirring the milk below it gently to avoid scorching / burning. Repeat the process till 1/3 rd of the volume of milk is left.
The wider the vessel and the richer the milk, the faster it will thicken. When done, the colour changes to a beige-cream / off white, and the cream that was pushed aside, collects in layers. Add in the chopped nuts.
Remove from the flame. Let it cool.
Transfer to a serving dish / clay pots. Refrigerate to chill for at least 1 hour.
For the Serving: Serve chilled broiled saffron and pistachio nut slivers.
