Ingredients
Milk (Doodh) 11/2 liter
Rice (Chaval) rice powder can be used instead of rice 1/4 cup

Method
Soak the rice for 3-4 hours. Boil the milk and add soaked rice. Cook on low heat until the milk gets thickens (milk will change its color to light pink/brown). By then the rice would also get soft. With the help of spoon grind the rice. (Blender can also be used to blend the rice with milk).
Now add sugar. When sugar dissolves add khoya, saffron, cardamom powder and dry fruits. Mix well and cook for 15 minutes on low flame.
Garnish with flaked almond, pistachio and saffron. Refrigerate before serving.
