Instructions
1
Warm the saffron strands in 1 tsp of milk and set aside to bloom.
2
Melt the ghee in a small pan and toast the semolina over low heat for 4-5 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden.
3
Add the whole milk and condensed milk gradually, whisking to avoid lumps, and cook over low heat for 5 minutes until it starts to thicken.
4
Stir in the chopped dates, raisins, diced apricots, sugar, ground cardamom and the bloomed saffron milk, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the mixture pulls together into a thick batter.
5
Divide the mixture evenly between 2 greased ramekins (180ml each), smoothing the tops.
6
Cover each ramekin tightly with foil and place in a steamer basket or large pot with a trivet and simmering water reaching halfway up the ramekins.
7
Steam for 20-22 minutes until the puddings are set but still slightly moist in the centre.
8
Remove carefully, let cool for 5 minutes, then run a knife around the edges and unmould onto plates or serve directly in the ramekins.
9
Scatter the slivered pistachios and almonds over the warm puddings just before serving.
