| Servings |
|
- 1 Cup Roasted Chickpeas
- 1/2 Cup Desiccated Coconut
- 1/2 Cup Rock Sugar You can use regular Sugar Instead
- 1/4 Cup Roasted Almonds Roughly Chopped
- 6 Pcs Green Cardamom
- 2 Tbsp Almond Flakes For Garnishing
- 1/4 Cup Milk For Kneading The Barfi Dough
Ingredients
|
|
- To a grinder jar add 1 Cup Roasted Chickpeas, ½ Cup Rock Sugar, ½ Cup Desiccated Coconut & 6 Pcs of Green Cardamom.
- Fine grind the ingredient to make a powder.
- Pout the powder in a mixing bowl.
- Add ¼ Cup roughly chopped almonds to the powder and mix well.
- After mixing well start kneading the dough using one spoon of milk at a time.
- For barfi we need a tight dough thus we will use one spoon of milk at a time. We will not use the whole milk as it might result in a soft dough. Soft dough will not give your barfi the desired stiffness and shape.
- After kneading the dough, we will roll and refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes.
- Roll the dough between the pals of your hand to make it long and round.
- Smoothen the dough while rolling to avoid cracks in the barfi. To round shape of the dough roll depends upon your required size of the barfi.
- After rolling the dough with your hand, take a tray and on the tray place a sheet of cling wrap of the size of the tray.
- Keep the roll on the cling wrap and roll with both hands & wrap the dough in the cling wrap.
- After wrapping the roll in the cling wrap, pack both the ends. This is done to avoid moisture setting into the dough while refrigerating.
- Refrigerate the roll for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes of refrigeration, unwrap the roll from cling wrap.
- Now using a sharp knife, cut slices from the dough of the desired thickness.
- After cutting the slices garnish each barfi slice with almond flakes. After placing a few almond flakes on every slice, press the almond flakes gently using your finger to set the flakes a little into the barfi.
- Our Channa Badam Barfi is ready to be served.
