  When the milk content has reduced to less than half the original amount, add the saffron and stir in. Continue to allow the mixture to cook on a medium heat and stir constantly

  Step 6: Add sugar

  Once the milk content (liquid) has reduced to 85%, add the caster sugar and the Cardamom seeds and stir into the mixture. ( its upon your like, semi solid or a solid type)
