Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup 100 g of walnuts
  • 1/4 cup 60 g of date paste (made from softened, pitted dates)
  • 2 tablespoons of ghee or coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup of milk powder or khoya dried milk solids
  • 1/2 teaspoon of cardamom powder
  • A pinch of cinnamon optional
  • Walnuts halved, for garnish

Equipment

  • Non-stick pan
  • Spatula or spoon
  • Parchment-lined pan or tray

Method
 

  1. Roast the Walnuts: Toast the walnuts in a dry pan over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until fragrant. Let them cool, then chop them coarsely.
  2. Create the Base: In a non-stick pan over low heat, melt the ghee. Add the date paste and stir until it becomes soft and pliable.
  3. Mix It All: Add the roasted walnuts, milk powder, cardamom, and cinnamon to the pan. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined and the mixture forms a thick dough. This will take about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Shape and Set: Press the warm dough into a parchment-lined pan. Press down firmly to create a smooth, even surface. Garnish with walnut halves.
  5. Cool and Serve: Let the barfi cool completely at room temperature, then cut into pieces and enjoy!

Notes

This recipe uses dates for sweetness, which means the sugar and carb content will be slightly higher than the stevia-based barfis, but it's still a much healthier option than a traditional version.
