Method

  1. 1 Roast the chickpea flour in ghee over low heat for 25 minutes, stirring constantly.
  2. 2 Chickpea flour burns easily, so it must be roasted over a lower heat than other types of flour.
  3. 3 The mixture is ready when the powder turns reddish-brown, the ghee separates, and it smells like baked goods.
  4. 4 Pour in the hot milk mixed with saffron little by little and stir until the mass is completely absorbed.
  5. 5 Add sugar and cardamom, then stir until the mixture thickens and becomes glossy.
  6. 6 Sprinkle with ghee-roasted cashews and pistachios, then serve while warm.
