Recipe
1
Heat pure ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat and add the fine semolina.
2
Roast the semolina continuously on low-to-medium heat until it turns golden aromatic and slightly nutty, taking care not to burn it.
3
Gradually pour in the whole milk while stirring vigorously with a whisk to prevent any lumps from forming.
4
Add the granulated sugar and cardamom powder, stirring continuously as the mixture thickens into a smooth pudding.
5
Stir in the rose water and the soaked saffron milk, blending well to impart a rich golden hue and floral aroma.
6
Remove from heat once the ravo reaches a soft, pourable consistency.
7
Transfer to serving bowls and garnish generously with slivered almonds, pistachios, and dried rose petals before serving warm.
