Besan Barfi Recipe
Ingredients
- 180g | 1 1/2 Cup Besan/Gram Flour
- 1/2 Cup | 108g Pure Cow Ghee
- 4 Tbsp | 45g Suji/Semolina
- Yellow Orange Food color
- 1/2 Cup | 100g Granulated Sugar, powdered
- 1/2 Tsp Cardamom powder
- Pistachios or any nuts to garnish
Instructions
- Its important to measure the ingredients for perfect result always. It not only saves your time but also ensures a perfect texture. Weigh the sugar and grind it into fine powder. Using powdered sugar saves the extra step of making a sugar syrup.
- Measure the Ghee, Besan and Suji using a weighing scale. If you dont have a weighing scale, the consistency can get tricky as we might put either too less or more in the measuring cup. A weighing scale does not cost much and is a great way to save your time.
- Heat Ghee in a thick bottom or non stick pan. Add the Besan, mix well. Add Suji. Roast on low heat stirring continuously.
- After 15-20 mins of roasting on lowest heat, the Besan starts releasing ghee.
- Switch off the heat and Add the food color.
- Add the powdered sugar, mix well. Switch on the heat, Add 2 Teaspoons of Ghee. Keep stirring it on low heat for 10 mins till the sugar melts and starts releasing from the pan.
- Once the mixture starts releasing from pan, switch off the heat. Let it cool down in the pan mixing it as it cools down for 15 20 mins.
- Transfer the mixture onto a greased or parchment paper lined tray. I used a tray lined with parchment paper and used an aluminum foil wrap to make the area small for thicker barfis. I placed a bowl next to it to prevent spreading.
- Add the chopped pistachios or nuts. Let it set either at room temperature or refrigerate it for 10-15 mins or till firm. Once semi firm, apply the silver vark, optional. Make cuttings else it gets hard later.
- This Recipe makes 12 Standard Sized Barfis depending on your preferred thickness.
