PROCEDURE

Heat a table spoon of ghee in a pan and fry the nuts and keep them aside.

In the same pan add another spoonful of ghee and fry the semiya till it is golden in color.

Add 4 cups of boiling water to the fried semiya and cook till all the semiya forms a lump.

Now add the sugar. 

Cook for another 10 to 15 minutes on a medium flame.

Add the remaining ghee, saffron stands soaked in little bit of water, cardamom, fried nuts.

Reduce the flame, cover and cook for another 10 minutes by mixing intermittently.
