Ingredients
3 cups Full Cream Milk Powder
1⅛ cups White Granulated Sugar
1 cups Full-Fat Milk
4 tbsp Melted Ghee
A pinch Cardamom Powder (optional)
⅛ tsp Kewra Essence (optional)
2 tbsp Chopped pistachios (for garnish)
1 tbsp Slivered Almonds (for garnish)
2–3 Sheets Edible Silver Leaf (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
1
Line a 6x6 inch baking tray with parchment paper and set it aside.
2
In a wide, heavy-bottom non-stick pot, combine the milk powder and white granulated sugar. Stir to combine.
3
Pour in the full-fat milk and melted ghee. Use a balloon whisk to mix everything until the batter is completely smooth and free of lumps.
4
Place the pot over medium-low heat and stir constantly. The mixture will initially thin out as the sugar melts, then begin to thicken as the moisture evaporates.
5
When the mixture reaches a thick, custard-like consistency, add the cardamom powder and kewra essence. Continue stirring until the mixture pulls away from the sides and bottom of the pot, forming a soft dough.
6
Transfer the dough into your prepared baking pan. Using a spatula lightly greased with ghee, press down firmly to flatten and even out the surface.
7
While the mixture is still warm, top with chopped pistachios and slivered almonds. You can also add edible silver leaf for a traditional look. Press the garnishes gently with your spatula so they embed into the surface.
8
Allow the barfi to cool to room temperature until it firms up. Lift it out using the parchment paper, cut into your desired square or diamond shapes, and serve.
