Barfi

A fudge-like milk-solid sweet flavored with pistachio, coconut, or chocolate and cut into neat diamond shapes.

Ingredients

• 1 kg large prawns
• 2 cups flattened rice (poha)
• 2 tbsp minced garlic
• 2 tsp red chili powder
• 1/4 cup ghee
• a generous handful of green chilies
• a handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
• a generous spoonful of heavy cream
• 400ml water
• a pinch of garam masala

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven (or set up your steamer or frying station) and lightly grease your pan or molds with ghee.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, whisk together the roti and mustard seeds until evenly combined.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, blend the plain yogurt with the water until smooth and well incorporated.

4. 4

   Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, taking care not to overmix.

5. 5

   Transfer everything to your prepared pan or molds and cook — bake, steam, chill, or fry — until set, about 25 mins.

6. 6

   Remove from the heat and let it cool completely; this helps the texture firm up perfectly.
