1. Barfi

   Barfi, barfee, borfi or burfi is a dense milk-based sweet from the Indian subcontinent. The name comes from the Hindustani (originally Persian) word barf, which means snow. Common types of barfi include besan barfi (made with gram flour), kaju barfi (made with cashews), pista barfi (made with ground pistachios), and sing barfi (made with peanuts). Milk powder and sugar are the main ingredients of barfi. The ingredients are cooked in a vessel until the mixture solidifies. The mixture is then transferred to a shallow pan and cooled. Finally, it is cut into squares, diamonds, or circular shapes and served. In addition to nuts, barfi is often flavoured with fruits such as mango or coconut and spices such as cardamom or rose water. It comes in various colours and textures. Barfi is sometimes coated with a thin layer of edible metallic leaf known as vark. It is served at both informal and formal events.

1. Barfi

   Barfi is a sweet confectionary from the Indian subcontinent. Plain barfi is made with condensed milk and sugar cooked until it solidifies. The many varieties of barfi include besan barfi, kaaju barfi, and pista barfi. The name is derived from the Persian word barf which means "snow", since barfi is similar to ice/snow in appearance, this is why it is served cold. Barfi is often flavored with fruit or nuts and spices such as cardamom or rose water. They are sometimes coated with a thin layer of edible metallic leaf known as vark. They are typically cut into square, diamond, or round shapes. Different types of barfi vary in their color and texture. Though it originated in Persia, barfi was introduced to India and Pakistan during the Mughal Empire in the 16th century. The confection is now served in South Asia at festivals such as Holi and Diwali.
