1 measure ghee
1 measure rava ( preferably chiroti rava or very fine rava)
a few saffron strands for flavouring
METHOD
- Soak the saffron in about 2 tbsp of warm milk for 15 -20 mins.
- Rub the saffron well till it disintegrates in the milk.
- Mix all the ingredients in a thick bottomed vessel and cook on a high flame
- Keep stirring continuously till the mixture leaves the sides of the pan.
- Switch off the flame and mix for a few secs and pour on a greased plate.
- To grease a plate, pour a few drops of ghee on the plate and spread it with your fingers.
- To spread and even out the surface, grease a flat bottomed bowl/katori and tap lightly on the surface to make it smooth.
- When it cools a bit cut into desired shape with a sharp knife.
- Separate the pieces when completely cool.
- Store in an airtight container
- It can be stored for almost a week.
The end point is a critical step, but even if it goes wrong it can be set right.
- If you remove from fire before the end point you may not get the desired pieces on cooling but you can set it in a freezer for some time and the pieces can be separated.
- If you keep it past the end point, the pieces will not be very soft but they wont be hard and unbreakable .
- The end point can be easily detected in this barfi as the mixture will form a nice ball in the pan when done.
- Cardamom powder can also be used for flavouring.
