Besan Ki Chakki

🇮🇳 Indian

Punjabi besan chakki, the melt-grain fudge of wedding tins. Ghee, sugar, patience — the three ingredients in every Indian celebration. Plate in petit-four pieces with tea or as prasad.

Prep 20 min Cook 52 min Serves 5 Medium

Ingredients

  • Salta pinch
  • Ghee3 tbsp
  • Sugar1 tsp
  • Gram Flour1 cup
  • Almonds1/4 cup, blanched and slivered
  • Green Cardamom4, ground

Instructions

  1. 1

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

  2. 2

    Put the gram flour and ghee on a steady medium flame and commit to stirring — sweets test your patience.

  3. 3

    Stir through the long middle stage until the mixture looks cohesive and smells toasty and rich.

  4. 4

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

  5. 5

    Spread or shape while warm, garnish with the reserved nuts, cool completely, then cut or serve as it sets.

Chef's tip

Cut barfi-style sweets while barely warm or they crumble.
