Ingredients

1 recipe badam barfi
1 recipe cashew barfi
1 recipe of pista barfi
a few saffron (kesar) strands
1 tbsp milk
4 to 5 edible silver leaf (vark)

Method

Make the badam, cashew and pista barfis as mentioned in their respective recipes.
Dissolve the saffron in the milk, add it to the cashew barfi and mix well.
Divide the badam barfi, cashew barfi and pista barfi into 3 equal portions.
Roll out each portion into a cylindrical of 200 mm. (8") length and 6 mm. (1/4") thickness.
On a sheet of plastic, place one badam roll, one cashew roll and one pista roll next to each other, to form a layer.
Top the first layer with a cashew roll, pista roll and badam roll (in that order).
Top with the third layer of pista roll, badam roll and cashew roll.
Press gently so that all the barfi rolls stick together to form a rectangle.
Garnish the rectangle with the silver leaves.
Cut the rectangle into 8 slices of 25 mm. (1") thickness.
