1. Preparation:
- Begin by finely chopping cashews, almonds, and some pistachios. These nuts will add a delightful crunch and flavour to the Kesar Peda.
2. Crumbling Kesar Peda:
- Take a mixing bowl and start crumbling the Kesar Peda into small pieces. The Kesar Peda, with its saffron-infused flavour, forms the base of this delectable dessert.
3. Adding Chopped Nuts:
- To the crumbled Kesar Peda in the mixing bowl, add the chopped cashews, almonds, and pistachios. These nuts will provide a delightful texture to the dessert.
4. Preparing the Saffron Milk:
- In a pan, heat some milk and bring it to a gentle boil. Adjust the quantity of milk based on the number of servings required.
- Add sugar to the milk according to your taste preference, stirring until it dissolves completely.

- Add a few strands of saffron to the milk, giving it a beautiful golden hue and a subtle saffron aroma. Allow the saffron strands to steep in the milk for a few minutes, imparting their distinct flavour.

- Once the saffron milk is ready, carefully pour the entire milk into the mixing bowl containing the crumbled Kesar Peda and chopped nuts.
