Ingredients:
1 cup besan (gram flour)
1/2 cup ghee (clarified butter)
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup chopped nuts (almonds or pistachios)
1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder
1/8 teaspoon saffron threads, soaked in 1 tablespoon milk
1/2 cup water
Pinch of salt
Step-by-Step Instructions:

2. Add the ghee, nuts, cardamom powder, saffron-milk mixture, and salt to the besan mixture. Mix until a smooth, thick paste forms.
Pro Cooking Tips:
To ensure the barfi turns out perfect, it’s essential to cook the besan mixture over low heat for 20-25 minutes or until it reaches the desired consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
For an extra layer of flavor and texture, add a tablespoon of rose water or kewra essence to the besan mixture.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve warm Besan Ki Barfi with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for a decadent treat.
Slice the barfi into desired shapes and arrange on a platter with fresh fruits like strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries for a colorful dessert table.
Store any leftover barfi in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
