Recipe
1
Boil the soaked basmati rice in water until it is 90% cooked, then drain excess water and set aside.
2
Heat desi ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan and lightly fry the cashews, almonds, and raisins until golden; remove and set aside.
3
In the same remaining ghee, add cardamom pods, cloves, and cinnamon, allowing them to sizzle and release their aroma.
4
Add the drained rice, sugar, and saffron milk mixture gently to the pan, taking care not to break the rice grains.
5
Cover the pan with a tight lid and let it simmer on very low heat for 10-12 minutes until the sugar dissolves completely and is absorbed by the rice.
6
Garnish with the fried dry fruits and edible silver foil, and serve warm alongside a steaming glass of saffron milk.
