Barfi
Barfi is a delicious Asian sweet which can be made with coconut, almonds, or pistachios. It takes some practice to get the consistency right (and I’m still practising because I don’t make it often enough!) But whatever consistency you make, it always tastes delicious!

Instructions
- Prepare the khoya: Mix together the milk solids, the water and the ghee to form something resembling a crumbly cheese.
- Place the khoya into some muslin or a couple of old pop socks and steam for 15 minutes in a steamer. Allow the solids to cool overnight.
- Grate the lumps into a fine powder. This is your khoya.
- Combine the khoya with the nuts.
- Place 250 ml (8 fl oz) of water and the sugar in a pan and bring to the boil. Allow to simmer until it becomes a syrup (107°C on a sugar thermometer).
- Pour the syrup into the khoya/nut mixture and mix well.
- Place the barfi mixture into greased moulds and press down. Allow to cool.
Titli's Tips
When you have pressed the mixture into the moulds, place them in the microwave for 1 minute on high. This reheats the sugar and helps it form a better slab.
