INGREDIENTS

  • A few saffron threads
  • 10-12 pistachios (peeled and sliced), blanched
  • 1 litre skimmed milk
  • 3 tbsp coarsely ground rice
  • 3/4 tbsp green cardamom powder
  • 3 tbsp low-calorie sweetener.

PREPARATION

  1. 1

    Bring the milk to a boil in a deep non-stick pan. Lower the heat and simmer, stirring continuously, till it reduces by half.

  2. 2

    Add the ground rice, mixed with a little water, and stir well to prevent lumps from forming. Bring the mixture to a boil.

  3. 3

    When it starts to thicken, lower the heat and simmer for a couple of minutes, stirring continuously. Add the cardamom powder and saffron, and mix well.

  4. 4

    When the mixture attains a thick custard-like consistency, remove from heat and stir in the low-calorie sweetener.

  5. 5

    Pour the mixture into 4 individual earthenware bowls while still warm. Sprinkle sliced pistachios and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Serve chilled.
