Recipe
1
Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) and lightly grease a baking dish.
2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs thoroughly until light and frothy.
3
Pour in the full-fat milk and sweetened condensed milk, continuing to whisk until completely smooth and well combined.
4
Stir in the vanilla extract, freshly grated nutmeg, cardamom powder, and rose water to infuse the custard base with classic Parsi flavours.
5
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into the prepared baking dish to ensure a silky-smooth texture.
6
Scatter the charoli nuts and slivered almonds evenly across the top of the custard mixture.
7
Place the baking dish inside a larger roasting pan filled with hot water to create a water bath (bain-marie).
8
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the custard is set in the center and golden-brown spots appear on top.
9
Remove from the oven, let it cool completely at room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours before slicing and serving.
