– 1 teaspoon vanilla
– 4 tablespoons sugar
– 4 tablespoons starch
– 1 teaspoon ground saffron

Instructions:

To prepare saffron semolina, first dissolve the starch in the cold milk. If you use warm milk, the starch will form clumps and won’t dissolve properly.

Add an ice cube to the ground saffron, let it melt, and then mix to release the saffron’s vibrant color.

Step 3:

Put the milk-starch mixture over heat, stirring constantly to ensure it doesn’t stick to the bottom and so the starch is cooked evenly. Continue stirring until it reaches your desired thickness.

Step 4:

Once the semolina has thickened, remove it from the heat. Stir in rosewater, sugar, saffron, and vanilla. Mix well. Pour it into a serving dish and place it in the fridge to set. Enjoy!
