INGREDIENTS

2 1/2 cup wheat flour

3/4 cup ghee

1/2 cup milk

1 cup vegetable oil

100 gm khoya

1 cup jaggery

2 tablespoon pistachios

How to make Churma Barfi

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, add 2.5 cups of flour and 1/4 cup of ghee. Mix to form a crumbly mixture. Now add milk in batches and mix with your hands to make a dough-like mixture. The mixture will feel a bit dry but don't worry about it.

Step 2

Take a portion of the mixture and press between your hand to make a muthiya. Make more such muthiyas with the mixture. The pieces can be irregular, don't worry about the shape as we have to ultimately crush them after frying.

Step 3

Heat oil in a kadhai. Deep-fry the muthiyas until golden in colour.

Step 4

Now grind all the fried muthiyas to make a powder. Pass the mixture through a sieve to attain a fine powder.

Step 5

Add jaggery to a pan and keep on medium flame. Let it melt completely. Mix in 1/2 cup of ghee. Now add khoya and mix until all the ingredients combine together to form a thick mixture.

Step 6

Mix jaggery mixture with powdered muthiyas. Mix to form a gooey mixture.

Step 7

Add the mixture to a tin or mould and spread with 1-2 inch thickness. Garnish with chopped pistachios and let it set for 2-3 hours.

Step 8

Once the barfis hold shape, cut into pieces and serve.
