Ingredients
- 6 cups Whole Milk
- 5 tblsp Cornstarch
- 1 1/2 cups Sugar
- 1/2 tsp Ground Cardomom
- 1 tsp Rose water
- Handful Almonds
- Handful Pistachio
Directions
- Pour 1 cup of milk into a small bowl, add the cornstarch and whisk them well until smooth.
- Pour the rest of the milk into a non-stick saucepan, adding the sugar and cardamom (and rosewater, if desired) whilst cooking over medium heat.
- Before it starts to boil, slowly add the milk and cornstarch mixture to the pan, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Keep stirring until the mixture increases in thickness.
- Take the pan off the heat and pour into a large shallow serving bowl. Let it cool at room temperature, and then put in the refrigerator for about 1 – 2 hours.
- Finally, sprinkle your Firni with sliced almonds and pistachios and serve!
