Ingredients

1 recipe of Pista Barfi

To be mixed into a filling
1 tbsp powdered sugar
1 tbsp blanched, peled and chopped pistachios
2 tbsp almonds (badam), blanched, peeled and chopped
2 tbsp gulkand
1 tbsp poppy seeds (khus-khus)
1/4 tsp cardamom (elaichi) powder
a few saffron (kesar) strands

For the garnish
3 edible silver leaf (vark)

Method

Make the pista barfi as specified in the recipe.
Roll out this dough in between 2 sheets of plastic till it is 6 mm. (1/4") thick. Cut 8 squares of 75 mm. x 75 mm. (3" x 3") each (re-roll the scrap if required).
Keep these squares covered with plastic till required.
Divide the filling into 8 equal portions.
Place a portion of the filling diagonally on each pista barfi square.
Shape each square into a cone, by bringing the opposite ends together.
Cover the pista cone completely with the silver leaf.
Repeat for the remaining filling and pista barfi squares to make 7 more paans.
