Ingredients
  

  • 250 ml heavy cream
  • 125 ml milk
  • 3/4 tbsp gelatin powder
  • 1.5 tbsp water
  • 4 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp cardamom powder
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 2  tbsp water
  • 1/4 tsp rose essence
  • 1/4  tsp  lemon juice
  • 1  drop pink gel food colour (maybe even less)
  • 2 tbsp chopped pistachios

Equipment

  • 2 pan
  • 1 toothpick 
  • 1 bowls
  • 1 stove

Method
 

Make the panna cotta
  1.  Fill a small pan with the water and sprinkle the gelatin over it. Set aside for 10 minutes so that it can bloom.
  2. In a larger pan, heat milk, cream, sugar and cardamom powder on medium low, stirring occasionally until the sugar is fully dissolved.
  3. Once it comes to a boil, immediately remove from heat.
  4. Now place the small pan with the bloomed gelatin on low heat and cook until the gelatin is fully dissolved.
  5. Add the gelatin to the cream mixture and stir well. Strain the mixture to get rid of large pieces of cardamom and lumps of undissolved gelatin if any.
  6. Allow to cool completely and pour into 4 individual bowls or ramekins. Refrigerate overnight or for at least 8 hours.
Make the rose syrup
  1. Place all ingredients together in a clean saucepan.
  2. Use a toothpick to add a little swipe of food colour.
  3. Only a little bit is required.
  4. Heat the ingredients in the pan until the sugar is fully dissolved.
To serve
  1. Dip the bowls in hot water for a few seconds and quickly invert onto a plate. Pour some rose syrup over each panna cotta and top with some chopped pistachios.
