This is a traditional Indian sweet recipe that I shared on my YouTube channel, Tripti Hone Kitchen. Besan Barfi is a delightful dessert made with gram flour, ghee, and sugar syrup, flavored with cardamom and optionally colored with orange food color. It's a simple yet delicious treat that is perfect for festivals or special occasions.
Chefadora AI has the answer - timers, swaps, step-by-step help.
Heat the gram flour in a pan for 2-3 minutes on low flame.
Add clarified butter to the gram flour and cook on low flame for 7-8 minutes until the ghee starts to separate and the color doesn’t change.
In a separate pan, prepare the sugar syrup by mixing sugar, water, cardamom powder, and orange food color (optional). Cook until the syrup thickens slightly.
Combine the cooked gram flour mixture with the sugar syrup and stir continuously until the mixture thickens.
Let the mixture cool slightly and then form it into desired shapes. Repeat the forming process as needed.
Ensure to cook the gram flour on low flame to avoid burning and achieve the right texture.
Use orange food color for a vibrant appearance, but it is optional.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly before forming shapes to make handling easier.
Can I use regular butter instead of clarified butter?
Clarified butter is recommended for authentic flavor and texture, but you can use regular butter if needed.
Is orange food color necessary?
No, orange food color is optional and only adds visual appeal to the barfi.
How do I know when the sugar syrup is ready?
The sugar syrup is ready when it thickens slightly and forms a single thread when tested between your fingers.

Yes, you can store Besan Barfi in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
Can I add other flavors to the barfi?
Yes, you can experiment with flavors like saffron or rose water for a unique twist.
