- Boil one litre milk along with elaichi pods. Keep stirring in between to avoid it sticking to the bottom.

- Toss them a little, but make sure they don’t turn brown. Now in goes the rice along with tbsp of sugar. Give everything a good mix.
- Remove & let it cool completely. You can put it in the refrigerator & let it cool for at least 5-6 hours or overnight.
- Meanwhile the milk would have reduced to half. At this stage add the sugar & again cook till it thickens. Remove & let it cool completely.
- Now for the green color, add pistachios to a baking tray & dehydrate them. Cool & blend to a fine powder.
- For the orange color, grate a carrot, add to a baking tray & dehydrate. Cool & blend to a fine powder.(The dehydration process would take around 10 mins in an oven)
- Now take the rice mixture & make small balls out of it. Use water if the mixture sticks to your hands.
- Roll each of the balls in the tri color respectively.
- In a shot glass, add the thickened milk. Place the colored balls on the top & serve immediately.
