Shahi Egg Pudding/Saffron Egg Pudding

Shahi Egg Pudding/Saffron Egg Pudding or Kesar Pista Egg Pudding is a rich and super delicious dessert. Its creamy and melt in mouth pudding made with eggs milk and dry fruits .
My mawa egg pudding  was a big hit and well recieved by many .This pudding is as good as the mawa egg but more rich and delish because of the saffron flavour .Since mawa and evaporated milk is not easily available to many, I came up with this pudding which can be made with ingredients easily available in your pantry .
