Saffron cardamom squares, a novel, protein-rich indian sweet that will simply melt in your mouth! you can whip up this dish in barely a few minutes and serve it as a post-dinner treat to your family. It tastes rich due to the flavour of cardamom and saffron, but is definitely not going to add to your fat deposits as i've used low-fat milk.
