and simmer on low heat for 1 ½ hours.
Scrape the sides and bottom frequently to prevent sticking and
mash rice while stirring. When it is creamy, add sugar and stir in well. Remove
from heat and add crushed cardamom seeds, rose water and shredded almonds.

leaves are VERY FINE, tasteless sheets of silver.]
