Ingredients - Serves 4

Let's Get Started

  1. Boil the milk in a heavy bottomed pan over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent the milk from burning at the bottom.
  2. Add the lemon juice to the milk and stir until the milk curdles completely.
  3. Drain the curdled milk and rinse under cold water to remove the lemon flavor. Squeeze out the excess water and knead to make a soft dough.
  4. Divide the dough into small portions and shape them into small, flat discs.
  5. In a large pan, combine the sugar and water and bring to a boil. Add the dough discs and cook for 10-15 minutes.
  6. In another pan, boil the remaining milk and reduce it to half its volume. Add the sugar, cardamom powder, and saffron strands.
  7. Remove the cooked dough discs from the sugar syrup, gently squeeze to remove the excess syrup, and add them to the reduced milk.
  8. Cook for a few more minutes, then chill in the refrigerator for a few hours.
  9. Garnish with chopped nuts before serving.
