Like Vanilla & Cinnamon are essence of any dessert in the west ,Saffron & Cardamom are hearts of any sweets in India.
The combination of saffron & cardamom are heavenly.

I like the way how you relates saffron and cardamon with vanilla and cinnamon :D Smart saying!
In regardless east or west, Indian or not, I'm loving all these spices. I can imagine your saffron and cardamon bars must be very fragrant.
