Ingredients

  • Besan/Chickpea flour- 1/2 cup
  • Grated carrot- 1/2 cup
  • Sugar- 3/4 cup
  • Milk- 1/2 cup
  • Ghee- 3/4 cup
  • Cashew- few

Instructions

Preparation

  • Break cashews in to small pieces, grease a tray with ghee and keep them aside.

Method

  • Heat a pan/kadai adding chickpea flour/gram flour. Roast it till raw smell goes and flour changes color slightly. Transfer it to a plate.
  • Now heat the same pan adding grated carrot, roast it till carrot shrinks and leaves raw smell.
  • Take a wide mixing bowl add sugar, milk, roasted carrot and half of the ghee. Mix it well till sugar dissolves. Then add roasted gram flour/besan and blend it such that no lumps are not formed.
  • Heat a heavy bottom pan/kadai and fry cashew pieces in little ghee. When cashews turn slightly brown, add gram flour mixture prepared in above step.
  • In low flame keep on stirring the barfi mixture, till it thickens. Now add rest of the ghee and continue stirring.
  • Besan ki barfi mixture leaves the sides of the pan with porous texture and that is when you need to switch off and immediately transfer it to ghee greased tray.
  • Using knife mark even sized barfi pieces and let it cool. Store them in airtight container.
  • Super tasty besan ki burfi is ready. Enjoy this with family and friends.

Note:

  • I have used carrot to make the sweet healthy, if you want you can skip it.
  • You need to switch off when the barfi mixture reaches the exact consistency otherwise it will turn in to halwa.
  • Do not compromise with ghee, the texture and taste depends on ghee. I recommend to follow the exact quantity of ingredients as in the recipe.
