Meanwhile keep the milk to boil with sugar, saffron strands, cardamom powder and let it boil till slightly thick .
Let it remain on a low flame.Fry the prepared poli discs and dip into the hot milk.
When a sufficient no of polis have been immersed in the hot flavored ilk. Keep aside and serve on a tray with milk and chopped nuts for garnish.At this time you can add the condensed milk on top of polis before serving to get a rich taste .
It is better to fry the polis and store separately when cooled in an airtight box and keep the milk warm to serve the polisAssemble few minutes before serving to make it less soggy.
Prepare the poori discs in advance in a big batch, comes handy when kids demand a snack, it is very enjoyable too as it s simple to prepare.
