1 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom seeds
3 pinches saffron powder

Make basic sandesh as described in the previous recipe. Flavor it by kneading in the ground cardamom seeds and powdered saffron. Shape the sandesh into a flat cake. Lightly score the surface with a fork, sprinkle the rose-water and ground pistachio nuts over the top, and gently pat the pistachios down.
When it's cool, cut it into squares. If you like, decorate each piece with a rose petal.
