1 lb powdered whole milk
 1 1/2 cups water
 4 oz sugar
 2 oz ground pistachio
 slivered pistachios
 4 cardamon seeds
 Sift the powdered milk.  Gradually mix in the water, bring to the
 boil and cook over a moderate heat, stirring continuously, until
 reduced to a very thick paste.  Make a thick syrup with the sugar
 and a little water, and add to the creamed milk.  Add ground
 pistachios and stir thoroughly.  Cook again until it is a thick
 paste.  Turn into square shallow tins or dishes, spreading about
 2 inches thick.  Leave to stand for 8 hours.  Press into it roughly
 broken cardamom seeds and slivered pistachio.  Cut into diamond
 shapes to serve.
