  • Pour in your evaporated milk and the fragrant saffron milk and mix, you can take out the saffron threads if you want or leave them in for more flavor.
  • Then, heat a pan on medium low, add in your ghee, wait for it to heat up, then throw in the cardamom pods, and cinnamon sticks.
  • Fry for a few minutes until nice and aromatic. Then pour in your egg mixture.
  • Immediately start whisking the mixture making sure to scrape the sides so it doesn't turn into an omlette.
  • Keep whisking gently until the mixture thickens and starts getting crumbly. Then add in some food coloring if you’d like. I used 5 drops of yellow and one drop of red.
  • Mix everything well, and once the oils come out, throw in your sliced almonds pistachios, and raisins.
  • Fry for another 5 minutes in the ghee then take it off the heat and let it cool on the counter.
  • Once cool, put in an airtight bowl and chill in the fridge for a couple hours and serve cold.
