Instructions:
Heat the Milk: Start by bringing the milk to a boil on medium heat in a large pan.
Add Rava (Semolina): Gradually stir in the Rava to avoid lumps. Cook until the milk thickens and the Rava is fully absorbed.
Incorporate Ghee: Add the ghee slowly, mixing well. Continue stirring on low heat.
Add Sugar: Once the mixture thickens, add the sugar. Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture starts leaving the sides of the pan.
Flavor with Cardamom: Add elaichi powder to enhance the aroma and flavor of the barfi.
Optional Dry Fruits: If using, mix in cashews, almonds, and pistachios at this point. These not only add a wonderful texture but also elevate the visual appeal.
Set the Barfi: Once the mixture turns dense and glossy, pour it into a greased tray and flatten it evenly. Allow it to cool.
Cut into Pieces: Once cooled, cut the barfi into your preferred shapes—squares or diamonds.
Pro Tips:
- Adding dry fruits like almonds and pistachios not only softens the texture but also enhances the aesthetic value and provides a nice bite.
- Ensure continuous stirring to avoid sticking or burning the mixture, especially after adding the sugar.
