An authentic Indian specialty cooked with freshly ground roasted spices, caramelised onions, and aromatic herbs in the traditional style.
Soak the rice 30 minutes and grind it with 1/4 cup milk to a fine paste.
Bring the milk to a boil and simmer on low 10 minutes, stirring.
Add the rice paste slowly, stirring constantly to prevent lumps, and cook 12 minutes until it coats the spoon.
Add the sugar, cardamom, and saffron and cook 3 minutes more.
Pour into shallow earthen bowls, garnish with the nuts, and chill 2 hours before serving.
