Instructions
1
Lightly grease two 180ml ramekins with melted ghee.
2
In a saucepan, warm the whole milk and coconut milk together over low heat without boiling.
3
Whisk the glutinous rice flour into the warm milk gradually, breaking up any lumps, until you have a smooth, thick batter.
4
Stir in the brown sugar, ground cardamom, saffron with its soaking milk, and salt, and cook gently for 2 minutes until the sugar dissolves and the batter thickens slightly.
5
Divide the batter evenly between the two greased ramekins, smoothing the tops with the back of a spoon.
6
Cover each ramekin tightly with foil and place in a steamer basket or on a trivet in a large pot with simmering water reaching halfway up the ramekins.
7
Steam covered for 25 minutes, checking the water level once, until the puddings are set firm but still tender to the touch.
8
Remove the ramekins carefully and let them cool for 10 minutes, then run a knife around the edges and invert onto small plates, or serve directly in the ramekins.
9
Scatter the slivered pistachios and almonds over the top just before serving.
