Tarla Dalal’s recipe to Dry Fruit Barfi
Stir-fried Fresh Green Chickpeas
Serves -16 pieces
Ingredients
Method
- To begin, apply a tablespoon of ghee to a heavy bottom pan you plan to cook the barfi.
- Pour in the milk to that pan and bring it a boil.
- Once the milk comes to boil, add the curds and stir continuously.
- Keep cooking the milk till it reduces to half.
- Add the sugar and chopped dry fruits and continued cooking on a very low flame till the milk thickens.
- Add 3/4 cup of water and keep stirring over low flame till all the moisture evaporates, add the nutmeg, mace and cardamom powders and continue to cook and stir till the moisture leaves the sides of the pan.
- Remove from fire, pour into 4"x 4" square tin. Allow to cook and cut into squares.
Notes
The Barfi requires slow cooking to get a caramelised colour. I have spread the Barfi differently as I wanted a different shape. But it did go a little too thin and the squares couldn't hold the shape properly. Recommend spreading it in the manner I have mentioned.
