1 tablespoon cornflour

¼ Cup Sugar

1 tablespoon rose water

½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

⅓ Cup Ground Almonds

Chopped almonds garnishing

Method

In a Small Bowl, Mix both the flours and 2-3 tablespoon of milk and make a smooth paste.
In a Saucepan, heat milk and sugar together, Stirring constantly. When the milk starts boiling, reduce the flame and Add the paste to the milk. Keep stirring until the mixture thickens, takes about 12-15 minutes.

Add the rose-water, Nutmeg and ground almonds and continue to stir over a low heat. Let it cook for 5 more minutes, then remove the pan from the stove and allow the mixture to cool slightly before pouring it into a individual glass Bowls.
