Ingredients

1 recipe of Pista Barfi
ghee for greasing

For the filling

1/2 cup dried nuts
3 tbsp powdered cashewnuts (kaju)
a few saffron (kesar) strands
1/4 tsp cardamom (elaichi) powder

For the garnish
edible silver leaf (vark)
a few saffron (kesar) strands dissolved in milk

Method

Make the pista barfi as specified in the recipe.

Roll out each portion with the help of a greased rolling pin on a sheet of plastic into a 125 mm. (5") diameter circle and keep covered.

For the filling

In a pan, combine the sugar with 4 tablespoons of water and simmer to get a syrup of 1 string consistency.

How to proceed

Place one pista barfi circle on a plate and spread the filling mixture evenly on it.
Top with the second pista barfi circle and allow to set for 20 to 30 minutes.
Cover with silver varq and cut the sandwich into 8 wedges.
