5 notes and tips on making the perfect besan barfi with ghee. 1. Make use of a bigger pan to spread the besan mixture if you like thinner besan barfis. 2. Authentic Indian sweets are cooked in a heavy bottom pan over the low flame but, to save us some time and energy we are using a non-stick pan which will help in making the job easier. Use good quality ghee for flavorful barfi. 3. Semolina is used to give a nice coarse texture to the quick besan barfi. 4. If the besan is not roasted properly, you will have a raw taste and the besan barfi won’t be tasty. (I guess this time will vary, besan takes like 15-18 minutes to roast nicely. The color will change slightly and it will release a nice aroma of cooked besan. This step is very important in case the besan flour is not roasted well, then the raw smell will be there in the besan barfi too.) 5. Keep the besan barfi aside for 2 hours. Once cooled down completely, besan barfi hardens and gets a perfect texture. If your besan burfi doesn’t set, it means you have under-cooked the mixture.
