Stir in sugar and continue to cook for another 5-10 minutes until dissolved.

Add cardamom and saffron, mixing well to incorporate flavors.

In a separate pan, heat ghee and fry cashews, almonds, and pistachios until golden brown.

Add the fried nuts to the kheer, reserving some for garnish.

Mix in rose water and a pinch of salt for flavor enhancement.

Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before serving.

Serve warm or chilled, garnished with remaining nuts and gold leaf.
