Servings 10 individual portions

Ingredients
 

  • 1 cup soft chenna
  • ½ cup white chocolate chips
  • sliced almond for garnish
  • 1 cup ground almond
  • dry rose petals for garnish
  • 1 cup condensed milk
  • little ghee or oil to brush on a container to set the barfi
  • 5 green cardamom or ½ teaspoon green cardamom powder

Instructions
 

  • Start by brushing little ghee to a container and place a parchment paper on it.
  • In a heavy bottom pan, add the chenna and knead it for 5 minutes to smoothen the granules.
  • Grind the green cardamom and sift the powder to the chenna. If you have to make green shells left, keep aside to be used in chai or other savory dish.
  • Place the pan in low heat and pour the condensed milk to it. Stir it around to give a smooth consistency.
  • Add chocolate chips to the pan and continue cooking in low heat to melt the chocolate. Keep stirring constantly.
  • Once the chocolate melt, add the almond flour and keep cooking. The mixture will start to thicken. Once the mixture comes together without sticking to the pan, it is ready. To test, switch off the heat and take a very little portion of the mixture in your hand and roll it around to form a ball. If it holds the shape and doesn't stick, it is ready.
  • Add the mixture to the prepared pan and flatten it to smoothen the top. Sprinkle the sliced almond and dry rose petals and press it gently once again. Let it set in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
  • Once set, slice into mini portions and enjoy!

Notes

Storing Barfi

Barfi should always be stored in a clean glass air tight container. Because it is milk based, it will not have a very long shelf life. It will stay good for 2 days in room temperature, unless you live in a place where it’s very humid.
The safest way to store is in the refrigerator. It will stay good for a few weeks if kept in the refrigerator.

A Few Notes to keep in mind:

It’s very important to cook the barfi in a heavy bottom pan, so it doesn’t get burnt.
You have to constantly stir by giving your absolute attention while preparing the mixture. If you leave it unattended, it will get burnt.
