In the same pan, add milk and sugar, stirring until sugar dissolves completely.

Add cardamom powder and saffron to the milk mixture and bring to a simmer.

Stir in soaked and chopped dried fruits, cooking for 5-7 minutes.

Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

Layer the remaining mixture on top, pressing down gently to compact.

Let the barfi set at room temperature for 2-3 hours or until firm.
