Instructions
- In a pan set over a medium heat, add the milk, water, sugar and saffron, split cardamom pods, and bring it to a boil.
- Remove from the heat and set aside.
- In a frying pan set over a low to medium heat, add the ghee and allow it to melt.
- Add the semolina and stir it gently to combine, then leave it to toast, stirring often until the semolina changes colour to a light brown.
- Add the raisins and chopped pistachios, and give it a stir.
- Carefully pour over the milk mixture and whisk well to get a smooth texture.
- Leave it to cook for 1-2 minutes, then remove it from the heat and serve.
Notes
- It is important to cook this pudding on a low to medium heat, so that the semolina doesn't burn. We want a nice light brown colour for it to release its nutty flavour, but if the heat is too high, we risk burning it.
- Keep stirring it regularly, to ensure an even colour all over. Unlike the Romanian Semolina Pudding, which has a white colour, this pudding is of a darker colour given by the saffron and toasting the semolina.
