1

Prepare sugar syrup by boiling 1 cup of water and adding 0.5 cup of sugar and 0.5 teaspoon of cardamom powder.

2

Cook the syrup on medium-high flame for about 3-4 minutes until the sugar dissolves.

3

Add 3-4 drops of lemon yellow food coloring to the syrup, which is optional.

4

Remove the syrup from heat once it's slightly sticky and set aside.

5

In a separate pan, add 2 cups of milk (500ml) and 3 tablespoons of sugar, adjusting to taste.

6

Add 0.5 teaspoon of cardamom powder and saffron strands to the milk mixture, which is optional.

7

Mix well and heat the milk on medium flame until warm.

8

In a bowl, prepare a cornflour mixture with some water and mix until smooth.

9

Once the milk is warm, lower the flame and add the cornflour mixture, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.

10

Cook the mixture on low-medium flame until it thickens to a coating consistency, stirring constantly.

11

Once thickened, remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

12

Assemble the dessert by layering the syrup-soaked base with the thickened mixture.

13

Repeat layering with syrup and the thickened mixture, finishing with a layer of the mixture on top.

14

Garnish with chopped nuts like pistachios and saffron strands, which are optional.

15

Refrigerate for 1.5 to 2 hours to set before serving.
