After a long time , I am posting sweet recipe today. This barfi is extremely rich in taste and makes a perfect sweet for any festival. The authentic recipe calls for 1 cup besan + 1 cup coconut + 1 cup milk + 1 cup ghee + 3 cups sugar. In This I reduced  the sugar level and increase the besan and coconut  Quantities..

  • You have to constantly stir the mixture to avoid getting it burnt. Also do not increase the heat as color will not be as pretty.
