  5. Sprinkle the ground ruce slowly into the pan, stirring as you go.

  9. Turn off the heat and pick out the cardamom pods and discard.
  10. Roast the almonds and pistachios lightly over a cast iron griddle pan.
  11. Set aside.
  12. When the pudding has cooled to lukewarm stir in the almonds into it.
  13. Ladle the pudding into 4-6 small serving cups (the kind used for caramel custard) Sprinkle the top with the pistachios and cover with cling film.
  14. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours until cold and set.
