Ingredients:
- Besan/Chickpea flour - 1 cup
- Ghee - 1 cup
- Milk - 1 cup
- Sugar - 2 cups
- Cashewnuts - a handful,chopped finely,optional
Method:
1. In a saucepan,mix together warm milk and sugar-reserve.
2. In a thick bottomed kadai add ghee and roast besan for a few minutes until a nice aroma
comes,approximately 2-3 minutes--be careful not to let it brown.
3. Now add the milk-sugar mix and the nuts and keep stirring.
4. Keep the gas flame on simmer and stir the barfi in continuous intervals taking care as to not
to burn.
5. After about 20 minutes,the barfi will start leaving the sides of the pan and would be ready to
set.
6. Meanwhile grease a plate with ghee and pour the barfi mix into the plate.
7. When the barfi becomes half set,make markings on it using a knife which would make it
easier to cut.
