This recipe is great for the wintertime, because everyone craves sugary food. Commonly,
people make gond laddu, and this is an easier version of that dish. Like always, this is an easy and tasty recipe.
 

Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole wheat flour (atta)

  • 1 ½ cups ghee or butter or as required

  • 1 cup sugar or to taste

  • ½ cup gond (found in Indian stores)

  • ½ cup chopped dry fruits and nuts like almonds, raisins, cashews (I used just almonds here)

Directions

  • Crush the gond into small pieces and keep aside.
  • First, take a heavy pan and add ghee or butter and set at slow heat.
  • When melting the ghee, add the flour and stir for about 25 to 30 minutes.
  • When the aroma comes and the color changes to pink, add the gond and mix for a few minutes until the gond begins to puff up. I add the gond now because then frying and using extra ghee is not necessary.
  • Add the dry fruits and sugar. Mix until the texture is thick then transfer to the tray. Spread and and decorate with the dry fruits and keep for about ½ – 1 hour and then cut the pieces as you like.
  • Let the barfi sit for at least 6-7 hours, but preferably overnight.
  • Enjoy!!!
