Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 4 cups milk
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons rose water
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped pistachios
  • 2 tablespoons shredded coconut

  • ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Mix the cornstarch with a few tablespoons of milk.
  2. Bring the remaining milk to a boil.
  3. Pour in the starch mixture, stirring vigorously, so that lumps do not form. Cook over very low heat, stirring continuously, until the milk thickens ( about 10 minutes).

  5. Serve in cups with the chopped pistachios and cinnamon as garnish. You may also sprinkle grated coconut on top.
