  • Add the sugar, green cardamom powder mix well, make sure the sugar dissolves.
  • Once the sugar dissolves then add the rice paste in the hot milk, keep stirring as it tends to stick to the bottom and burn.Cook it on low to medium heat for 5-7 minutes or until the milk thickened and creamy.
  • Add rose water and heavy cream. Stir well.
  • Remove from the fire and dish it out in a clay dish and garnish it with almonds and pistachios.
  • Let it cool completely and set in a refrigerator for 4 hours or until chilled.
