Rose, Pistachio and Saffron Barfi (Fudge) from here

Ingredients
10g unsalted butter, divided
400g white chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bar, divided
200g sweetened condensed milk, divided
1/2 cup pistachio, divided
1 teaspoon of ground cardamom seeds, divided
3 tablespoons of dried rose petals, reserve some for garnish
2 tablespoons of milk
10-15 saffron threads, reserve some for garnish
1 1/2 tablespoon of Rooh Afza (see above for alternative)

Method
Grease a container or tray you will let the fudge set in with butter, then line it with baking paper.
After, place two heavy bottom pans on low heat.
Add 5g of unsalted butter, 200g of white chocolate and 100g of sweetened condensed milk to each pan.
Stir frequently until fully homogenous, around 5 minutes. It should separate from the pan entirely and all come together like dough.
In a separate pot, heat 2 tablespoons of milk with saffron threads until it comes to a boil and slightly reduces. Set aside.
Going back to the fudge, add 1/4 cup of pistachio and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cardamom seeds to each of the fudge mixes and stir until combined.
To one of the fudge mixtures, add 1 1/2 tablespoons of Rooh Afza, and 3 tablespoons of dried rose petals. Stir to combine. The pink fudge is ready.
To the other fudge mixture, add 1 1/2 tablespoons of the warm saffron milk along with the saffron threads. Stir to combine. The yellow fudge is ready.
Place one layer into the container you prepared earlier, pressing it down with a spatula.
Then place the second layer on top of the first, gently spreading it with a spatula.
You can garnish the top layer with saffron, rose petals or more pistachio.
Place this into the fridge to set for 2 hours.
Once set, take it out of the fridge letting it rest for thirty minutes, then cut into desired size pieces.
