Preparation
- Pour 1 cup of the milk into a small bowl, add the cornstarch, and whisk until smooth.
- Pour the rest of the milk into a non-stick saucepan with the sugar and cardamom (and rose water, if using) and cook over medium heat.
- Before it boils, slowly add the milk and cornstarch mixture, whisking constantly to avoid lumps, and keep stirring until it thickens.
- Take off the heat and pour into a large shallow serving bowl. Cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for about 1–2 hours.
- Sprinkle with sliced almonds and pistachios and serve.
