  1. 1

    In a heavy bottomed vessel, cook milk, cream and grated coconut. Stir once the mixture begins to thicken.

  2. 2

    Add sugar. Reduce flame and keep stirring till the mixture becomes thick and leaves the sides of the vessel.

  3. 3

    Remove the vessel from heat. Divide the mixture into 2 equal parts. To one part add few drops of green food colouring and half of the cardamom powder.

  4. 4

    Mix well. Lightly grease a deep metal plate. Place the green mixture in this. Spread evenly.

  5. 5

    Now place the vessel containing the remaining portion on medium flame. Add in saffron milk.

  6. 6

    Stir to get a nice yellow colour. While stirring, add the remaining cardamom powder. Spread this on the green layer in the plate.

  7. 7

    Make the mixture even and smooth with the back of a spoon. Spread 1 or 2 edible silver foil papers on top to add to its beauty.

  8. 8

    Once well set, cut into squares or diamond shapes.
