- In a separate pot, heat the milk along with water and sugar. Stir to dissolve the sugar completely.
- Once the milk comes to a simmer, add the cardamom powder and the soaked saffron milk (if using).
4. Combine the Mixtures:
- Gradually add the milk mixture to the roasted rice flour, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Continue cooking over medium-low heat for about 5-7 minutes, until the mixture thickens and becomes a pudding-like consistency.
5. Add Ghee and Nuts:
- Add the remaining ghee (about 2 tablespoons) and the chopped cashews and almonds. Stir well to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
6. Finish and Serve:
- Once the aflatoon has thickened to your desired consistency, remove it from heat. Optionally, you can add a few drops of rose water for an extra layer of fragrance and flavor.
- Let it cool slightly before serving.
7. Garnish:
- Garnish with extra chopped nuts or even a few more saffron threads for added elegance.
Serving Suggestions:
- Serve aflatoon warm or at room temperature. It’s a rich, indulgent treat that can be enjoyed as a dessert or a special snack during festivities.
Tips:
- Consistency: If you prefer a thicker aflatoon, cook it a little longer; if you prefer it softer, add a little more milk.
- Sweetness: Adjust the sugar according to your taste, especially if you want it less sweet.
- Nuts and Dry Fruits: Feel free to experiment with other nuts like pistachios or add raisins for a variation.
Enjoy your Aflatoon, a deliciously rich and flavorful treat perfect for celebrations!
