Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cardamom
- 1 tablespoon Rose water
- 2 tablespoons Crushed pistachios (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a dry skillet over medium heat, add the all-purpose flour and roast it for 5-7 minutes, stirring constantly, until it turns light golden brown and gives off a nutty aroma. Be careful not to burn the flour.
Step 2
Remove the roasted flour from the skillet and set it aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, gradually add the roasted flour back into the skillet, stirring well to combine it with the butter.
Step 4
Slowly add the milk to the flour mixture, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Continue cooking over medium heat until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 5
Add the sugar and ground cardamom to the mixture, stirring well until the sugar dissolves and the cardamom is evenly distributed.
Step 6
Stir in the rose water and cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Step 7
Remove the Khabeesa from the heat and transfer it to a serving bowl.
Step 8
Garnish with crushed pistachios, if desired, and serve warm.
