Notes
Preferably use full fat milk.
Do not add saffron in boiling milk. Add it to lukewarm milk to get the color and flavour. Add saffron milk to boiling milk.
Simmer milk on low flame after adding almond paste. It tends to get more rich and creamy when cooked on low flame.
You can also add few drops of rose essence or rose water and skip cardamom or saffron/kesar.
You can substitute Kesar/Saffron with a pinch of Turmeric powder in the reicpe
