Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat ghee in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 60 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    Add condensed milk and crushed cardamom. Stir constantly to prevent sticking, breaking up lumps as they form.

  3. Step 3

    Once the mixture darkens and pulls away from the pan, add milk powder a pinch at a time, stirring until fully combined.

  4. Step 4

    When the paste is thick, glossy, and comes away from the skillet sides easily, pour onto parchment paper.

  5. Step 5

    Cool 5 minutes until touchable. Shape into 1.5-inch balls or a flat bar, pressing gently to firm up.

  6. Step 6

    Sprinkle pistachios and rose petals on top. Serve at room temperature once fully set.

Tools you’ll need

  • 10-inch non-stick or stainless steel skillet
