Instructions:
1. Preparation:
Apply a little ghee to the back of a large steel plate or marble surface. Have a rolling pin ready. You can also lightly grease a flat surface by placing parchment/butter paper on it.
2. Soak saffron:
If using, soak saffron strands in a tablespoon of warm milk.
3. Cook the mixture:
* Add ghee and maida (all-purpose flour) to a heavy-bottomed pan. Stir over low heat until fragrant and lightly golden, about 3-4 minutes.
* Add milk and sugar. Keep stirring constantly over low-medium heat to prevent lumps from forming.
* Add cardamom powder and saffron milk.
* Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and begins to separate from the sides of the pan (about 10-12 minutes).
* The mixture should be thick but spreadable.
4. Roll:
* Immediately pour the hot mixture onto a greased surface.
* Place parchment/butter paper on top and gently roll it out with a rolling pin to form a very thin sheet (about 2-3 mm thick).
5. Garnish:
* Sprinkle chopped almonds and pistachios evenly over the top. Press gently with a rolling pin to ensure they adhere.
* If using, place an edible silver leaf on top of the halwa.
6. Cool:
Let it cool for 10-15 minutes. When it's frozen but not completely hard, cut into square or rectangular pieces with a sharp knife.
7. Serve:
* If the pieces are sticking together, gently lift them and separate them.
* Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
