Notes
There are two ways to make Barfi, one is using milk the other is using condensed milk.
I tried both ways and can tell you, condensed milk is the way to go as using milk you will be standing for around 3 to 5 hours stirring it…but its up to you what one you try.
Decide what way you want to do it and just follow the instructions with either milk or condensed milk and you will get the same result.
If you can find something called khoya, this will make it be more like the shop bought Barfi as this was is kinda more like a cross between Barfi and Toffee…but its still really good.
