Repeat the process of collecting of layer of cream on the sides many times until very little thick milk is left and also keep stirring on the bottom of the pan.
Add sugar, cardamom powder, and kesar or saffron to the thickened milk now.ou will notice the milk starts to turn yellowish due to kesar or saffron strands. When the milk reduces to 1/4th of its original quantity turn off the heat.
Let it cool and then scrap the cream layer from the side of the pan and mix with the thickened milk gently. Garnish with pistachios and saffron strands.
