When the ghee melts, add cashews, almonds, and raisins and roast them. When the dry fruits are well roasted, take them out in a bowl. Now put rice in the pan with ghee and fry them.
After roasting the rice for some time, add half a cup of milk and cook it. Meanwhile, take some warm milk in a small bowl and mix saffron in it.

After cooking for 1 more minute, turn off the gas. Saffron rice is ready for offering to Maa Saraswati. After offering bhog to the mother, distribute saffron rice as prasad to everyone.
