We begin making Besan Barfi Recipe, in a deep non stick pan or kadai add mawa/ khoya and roast on medium heat until you observe a slight change in colour and turns aromatic

Scoop it into a bowl and set it aside

Now to the same pan, add the ghee and oil

You can add only ghee as well

Allow it to heat up slightly

Add the gram flour and roast on medium heat stirring continuously

After four to five minutes, you can observe that the gram flour turning frothy and bubbly

Continue stirring and roasting for 6 to 8 minutes or until the froth settles, most of the bubbles disappear

And also until its aroma is felt and turns golden in colour

Now sprinkle a few drops of water (1to 1-1/2 teaspoons) precisely after which tiny white bubbles will be formed

This makes the flour slightly grainy that helps in its texture

Continue roasting on medium heat until all the droplets disappear say for about 4 to 5 minutes

Later turn off the heat and the place the pan over cold water bath (pan or a larger plate filled with water upto an inch or two depending on the size of your kadai/pan) to cool the mixture until Luke warm

Once the mixture is cooled add the roasted mawa/khoya

Work with the wooden spatula or spoon and ensure to mix it thoroughly without any lumps

Now add the powdered sugar and cardamom powder

Blend them well with mawa and besan mix

This might take a little effort, if you're unable to mix it with spoon or spatula, use your hands

Grease and line a square pan with parchment with hanging ends

As it helps to remove the set dessert mixture in one go and eases the process of cutting into shapes

Press the dessert mix on to the lined pan levelling its top with back of a spoon or bowl or glass for that matter any flat object to a smooth and even surface

Set the pan in a dry place for about 20 minutes and not more

Later holding the hanging edges of the parchment remove it from the pan on to a flat surface

Trim it's uneven edges if any, and cut into desired shapes using a knife or pizza cutter

Remove them on to a serving plate, garnish with chopped nuts and serve

Serve Besan Barfi Recipe with Aval Mixture Recipe (Poha Chivda) and Ginger Cardamom Chai to your guests during evening
