Why This Recipe Works

Aromatic Flavor: Ground cardamom adds a warm, spicy note that enhances the sweetness.
Nutty Crunch: Chopped pistachios provide a contrasting texture and nutty flavor that complements the pudding.
Chef's Pro Tip: For a thicker pudding, allow it to cool longer before serving to achieve the desired consistency.
