Ingredients

Method

  1. Add ground cinnamon and extra cardamom to the milk mixture during the cooking process.
  2. In a heavy-bottomed pot, heat milk over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
  3. Add sugar and continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the mixture reduces and thickens to a syrupy consistency (about 20-25 minutes).
  4. Stir in cardamom, saffron, and ghee, cooking for another 5 minutes to blend the flavors.
  5. Remove from heat, add rose water, and let cool to room temperature.
  6. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
