Blanche the almonds by soaking them in boiling water for 15 minutes. Peel off the skins and set aside.
In a saucepan over medium heat, add heavy cream, sugar, cardamom, saffron, and agar agar. Continuously whisk until the mixture comes to a boil (185°F/85°C).
Pour the mixture into your containers and place in the fridge until set, about 1 to 2 hours.
Garnish each panna cotta with blanched almonds, pomegranate arils, and chopped pistachios. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
