Method:

Take all the above ingredients and powder them in a mixie.

Now heat a cup of milk and add the above mixture and cook well till it thickens and as it gets thicker put off the flame.

Allow to cool.

Mix it into the refrigerated milk.

Pour in the cups and garnish with fresh rose petals and nuts .

I have not added any sugar as the dates and gulkand already are sweet.
