Ingredients

  • 1 litre milk
  • 1/2 can condensed milk
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • A fat pinch saffron
  • 1/2 tsp cardamom powder
  • 1 cup milk powder
  • 1 tbsp all purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 egg
  • Crushed pistachios for garnish

Instructions

  • Bring the milk to heat. Add the condensed milk, sugar, saffron and cardamom and allow the mixture to cook for around 10 minutes till slightly thickened.
  • For the dumplings, in a bowl, mix the milk powder, flour and baking powder well.
  • Whisk the egg slightly and add into the dry ingredients.
  • Using your fingers, slowly bring the mixture together to make a dough. Do not knead, just bring it together to a ball. (refer notes)
  • Make 12 to 15 small flat pattie shapes. Make sure they are small and flat, since if it is bigger and thicker, it will take time to cook.
  • Add into the boiling milk and cook for around 8-10 minutes, flipping slowly halfway through.
  • Switch off and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
  • Serve warm or cold, sprinkled with a generous serving of crushed pistachios.

Notes

If you feel your dough is not coming together after adding the egg, add milk by a tablespoon till it forms a ball.
Do not knead, otherwise the balls will become hard upon cooking.
