In a large bowl, add milk powder, icing sugar, and cardamom, and mix together well.

Add rose water and condensed milk while mixing.

Gradually add cream, mixing a little at a time, as you may not need all of it.

When it becomes too difficult to mix with a spoon or spatula, use your hands to knead the mixture until it forms a firm dough.

Divide the dough into smaller portions, each weighing about 25 grams.

Roll each piece of dough into a ball using your palms.

Place the balls onto a serving platter and use your finger to make a little dent in the middle.

Decorate with your choice of nuts, such as pistachios and colored almonds.

Alternatively, roll the dough into a ball, then use a mold to shape and decorate as desired.

Flatten the dough using the back of a glass after rolling it into a ball.

Melt chocolate and place it into a Ziploc bag, then snip off the corner to drizzle the chocolate onto the dough.

Decorate with colored almonds, pistachios, or sweets, and optionally use gold or silver leaf.

Allow the decorated pieces to set for about an hour.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or in the fridge for two weeks.
