Repeat the procedure till all the rajgira are popped.In a small bowl, add saffron threads to 2 tablespoons warm milk and let it stay for 10 minutes.Once all the ramdana/rajgira are popped, in a heavy bottomed pan, bring the milk to boil.

Add the chopped nuts, raisins, cardamom powder, soaked saffron with milk, and simmer for about 5 minutes.Switch off heat, garnish with pista and rose petals, and serve.
