Barfi is a popular Indian sweet. Its name has derived from the word ‘barf’ (ice). Reason being, the original version of barfi is made with milk and sugar. With time many other versions of barfi has been created.
Besan or Gram Flour barfi is one of the most known homemade sweet. It is created with a well-roasted gram flour, ghee, sugar, and nuts. Flavored with cardamom powder, and saffron threads.
This sure is a must try, gluten-free, nutritious, traditional, and melt-in-mouth sweet to celebrate our festivities.
