Soak rice in about 2 cups of water for about 1 hour.
Now drain the rice and grind it with as little water almost to a grainy texture.
Take a thick bottomed pan and add milk and sugar.
Mix it well and bring to a boil. Now add the freshly ground rice slowly stirring continuously as you do not want any lumps to form.
Keeping it on medium flame stir until it starts to thicken. Almost takes 15-20 minutes.
Now add the cardamom powder , slivered almonds and pistachios and mix well.
Get it off the flame and pour it into the serving bowls. Garnish with almonds and pistachios.
Chill it for a while and serve.
