Besan Barfi

🇮🇳 Indian

A set, sliceable mithai with a melt-away texture — the mark is a clean cut and a soft finish. Ready in 50 minutes including prep.

    Cool completely, then cut into clean diamonds.

Chef's tip

Ghee first, sweetness later — sugar added too early toughens flour and milk solids.
