Kaju Aur Anjeer Barfi

🇮🇳 Indian

Dried-fig and cashew barfi, the no-sugar-syrup sweet of modern mithai shops. Ghee, sugar, patience — the three ingredients in every Indian celebration. Plate in petit-four pieces with tea or as prasad.

Prep 16 min Cook 57 min Serves 6 Medium

Ingredients

  • Salta pinch
  • Ghee3 tbsp
  • Sugar1 tsp
  • Cashews1/4 cup
  • Green Cardamom1 tsp

Instructions

  1. 1

    Set out every ingredient measured and ready; Indian sweets move fast once the heat is on.

  2. 2

    Start the base: the cashews and sugar together in a thick pan, stirring so nothing catches.

  3. 3

    Cook, stirring, until the mixture thickens and leaves the sides of the pan — 15 to 25 minutes of honest work.

  4. 4

    Season the mix with the green cardamom and green cardamom, reserving some nuts for the top.

  5. 5

    Tip into a greased tray, level the top, sprinkle nuts, and let it set before cutting into diamonds.

Chef's tip

Ghee should be fragrant but never browned past golden.
