Milk powder barfi tastes like a classic khoya barfi but skips the hours of reducing milk. Milk powder, ghee, milk and sugar come together in one pan in about 10 minutes, so it is the quickest way to put a homemade sweet on the Diwali plate after a long work day.
15-Minute Milk Powder Barfi
Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Grease a 15 cm (6 inch) square tin or a small plate with ghee.
- Warm the ghee and milk in a non-stick pan over low heat. Add the sugar and stir until it dissolves, about 1 minute.
- Add the milk powder and stir until there are no lumps.
- Keep stirring over low heat for 6 to 8 minutes. The mixture thickens, stops sticking and gathers into a soft dough that leaves the sides of the pan.
- Stir in the cardamom, then spread the mixture in the tin and smooth the top. Press the nuts on top.
- Leave to set for 30 minutes at room temperature, or 15 minutes in the fridge, then cut into squares.
