- 3 cups milk powder
- ¾ cup sugar
- 1 cup whole milk
- ⅓ cup ghee
- pinch of salt
- chopped pistachio
In a mixing bowl, add the milk powder, milk and sugar. Whisk until it's smooth with no lumps.
Take a 4 by 6 inch container and layer the bottom with parchment paper. Brush a little amount of ghee all around.
If you are adding nuts, then layer the chopped cuts at the bottom of the pan.
Transfer the whisked milk to a heavy bottom. Add the ghee and, keeping the heat at medium low heat, keep stirring for about 10 to 12 minutes or until the dough comes together without sticking to the pan.
To test if the dough ready, take a tiny amount of the milk dough and try to make a tiny ball. If it forms the shape without sticking to your fingers, then the dough is ready to set.
Transfer to the prepared pan and press it down to form a flat top.
Let it set and cool down completely.
Once cooled completely, flip the container to a flat board and slice the barfi into bite size portions. (Read notes below on how to get neat slices)
How to get neat slices ?
To get neat slices, dip the knife in hot water and then wipe it clean with a kitchen towel or cloth. Do this before every slice, and you will get perfect, neat slices of milk burfi.
KEY POINT:
You don't want to cook down all the moisture, then the burfi will turn out hard and not crumbly delicate. To test if it's ready, take a tiny ball of the dough and roll it between your fingers. If it's not sticky and form the ball, then it's ready
