About Besan Barfi
Besan barfi is an Indian sweet made from gram flour, sugar and ghee. Dassana Amit’s rustic version is set in a tray and cut into rectangular pieces.
Roasted gram flour gives a nutty flavour, balanced by sugar and rich ghee. Green cardamom adds fragrance, with almonds and cashews on top.
The mixture firms into a sliceable sweet with a lightly granular character. Chopped nuts provide texture on the surface; melon seeds are an optional addition to this presentation.
