Instructions:
- In a heavy-bottomed vessel, combine milk, cream, and grated coconut over medium heat.

- In the other part of the mixture, place the vessel back on medium heat.
- Add saffron milk to the mixture and stir until you achieve a uniform yellow color.
- While stirring, add the remaining cardamom powder to enhance the flavor.
- Spread the yellow mixture on top of the green layer in the plate, making sure to cover it completely.
- Use the back of a spoon to smooth out the surface of the barfi and make it even.
- Optionally, place 1 or 2 edible silver foil papers on top for added decoration.

Tips:
- For a richer flavor, you can substitute some of the milk with condensed milk.
