  gas oven and pour the milk into it. Keep it on a medium flame. Now keep
  stirring it slowly and bring it to simmer once the milk starts boiling. Drop
  the crushed cardamom seeds into the milk.  Add the rice and saffron and let it cook in
  low heat until it reduced into almost half. Keep on stirring in between.
