Instructions
1
Boil milk in a heavy-bottomed pot. Add almonds, pistachios, cardamom, and saffron. Simmer for 10-12 minutes until slightly reduced but still thin. Add sugar and cook for another few minutes, then let it cool to room temperature.
2
Mash the drained chena with your palm for 4-5 minutes until smooth. Add refined flour and mix lightly. Shape into small, crack-free discs.
3
Bring sugar and water to a boil in a wide pan. Drop the discs in, cover, and boil on high heat for 10-12 minutes.
4
Immediately transfer the cooked discs into a bowl of ice-cold water for 10-12 minutes.
5
Gently squeeze the excess water from the discs and place them into the prepared flavoured milk. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours before serving chilled.
