This is a very simple dessert but it does require some time to prepare. As this requires simmering milk to thicker consistency. It is served with loads of nuts, saffron and cardamom. I have used nutmeg in it but if you want to skip it go ahead. I have used brown sugar in this recipe so the color is a bit brown. This sweet is new for me. Perfect for milk lovers. I used full fat milk which works better for this recipe.
Ingredients:
Milk – 500ml
Sugar – 1 tablespoon (If you prefer little more sweeter add 2 teaspoon more)
Cardamon – 1/4 teaspoon
Mixed nuts – 1 tablespoon
Nutmeg a pinch
Saffron – 1/8 teaspoon
