Zafrani Payesh
Ingredients:
1 tsp ghee
½ cup ACI Aroma Aromatic Chinigura Rice, soaked in water for 30 minutes and then strained
½ cup chopped nuts (cashew, pistachio, almond, walnut)
½ cup sugar
1½ litre full fat milk
1 pinch saffron (soaked in 1/3 cup warm milk)
2 green cardamom powder
Few drops rose water, optional
Method:
Take a pan, melt the ghee in it. Add the strained rice and chopped nuts to it. Fry for few minutes. Do not burn the rice. Remove the rice and chopped nuts from the pan and keep aside. In the same pan, add the 2 tablespoons of sugar and 2 tablespoons of water. Caramel the sugar by stirring continuously on low heat. When the caramel will be made, add the fried rice and nuts to the same pan, add the milk and start boiling all together. Add cardamom powder and saffron milk. Cook till the milk is reduced and thickens. Add rest of the sugar and boil for 2-3 minutes.
The colour of the payesh will be brownish for the caramel. Turn off the heat, add rose water, stir and let the payesh cool down completely. Keep in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours. Remove just before serving. Garnish with chopped nuts on top. Enjoy.
