Today on Eid, I knew I had to make something sweet. But instead of making sheer khurma, (that I make every year), I decided to make some simple pistachio Phirni, flavoured with cardamom.

Just a handful of ingredients is all you need to whip up this simple dessert. I'd love for you to give it a try!

Remove the husk of the cardamom pod from the milk.
