Ingredients: 1 cup heavy cream; ½ cup whole milk; 8 saffron threads; 4 large egg yolks; 3 tbsp honey; 1 tsp vanilla extract; ¼ tsp cardamom powder; ¾ cup cooked chickpeas, drained and dried; 3 tbsp ghee; 2 tbsp jaggery or brown sugar; ¼ tsp black salt (kala namak); 2 tbsp crushed roasted pistachios

A sophisticated take on baked custard: crème brûlée meets kheer. Saffron-steeped cream sets into silken gold in a gentle water bath, then topped with hand-pulled chickpea brittle for textural drama. Finish with a sprinkle of black salt and pistachios for a breakfast that feels like dessert.
