Ingredients

4 cups Whole milk (Originally 'દુધ શેર ૨' (2 Seers). Converted to modern equivalent (1 Seer ≈ 2 cups).)
1/2 cup Granulated sugar (Originally 'ખાંડ શેર વ્યા' (1/4 Seer). Converted to modern volume (1/4 Seer ≈ 4 oz ≈ 1/2 cup).)
2 tablespoons Almonds (Originally 'નાપી બદામની બીજ' (peeled almond seeds). Quantity estimated.)
2 tablespoons Pistachios (Originally 'બજેલાં નવાં પ' (roasted fresh pistachios). Quantity estimated.)

Instructions

1Blanch and peel the almonds, then slice them into slivers. Roast the pistachios lightly and chop them.
2Pour the fresh whole milk into a heavy-bottomed pan or pot. Bring it to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
3Reduce the heat to low and let the milk simmer for about 20-30 minutes until it reduces slightly and thickens. Add the sugar and stir continuously until completely dissolved.
4Stir in the prepared almonds and pistachios. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes to blend the flavors. Remove from heat and serve either warm or chilled.
