Boil water and sugar in a saucepan until the sugar dissolves completely.

Add saffron and rose water to the sugar mixture and stir well.

In a separate bowl, mix flour and cornstarch together.

Gradually add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.

Cook the mixture on low heat, stirring until it thickens and pulls away from the sides of the pan.

Add ghee gradually, mixing well until fully incorporated.

Stir in cardamom, cinnamon, and vanilla extract for flavor.

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.

Top with nuts, dried fruits, and sesame seeds for garnish.

Allow to cool completely at room temperature.

Cut into squares or diamond shapes for serving.
