Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Water | 1 1/4 cups |
| Sugar | 1 cup |
| Milk | 1 cup |
| Khoya | 500g |
| Cocoa Powder | 2 tbsp |
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Base: Begin by putting water, sugar, and milk in a broad heavy-based saucepan. 🍶
-
Boil and Mix: Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Allow it to simmer for about 4 minutes until the sugar dissolves and the mixture slightly thickens.
-
Incorporate Khoya: Gradually add khoya (a type of dried whole milk) into the simmering mixture, stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming. 🥛
-
Thicken and Remove: Once the khoya completely dissolves into the milk and the mixture thickens to a creamy consistency, remove the saucepan from heat.
-
Prepare the Plate: Grease a thali (a flat, circular metal plate) or any flat dish with a shallow rim.
-
Layer the Barfi: Spread a layer of the prepared khoya mixture evenly onto the greased thali, creating the white base layer of the barfi.
-
Create the Chocolate Layer: To the remaining khoya mixture in the saucepan, add cocoa powder and mix well until thoroughly combined, yielding a smooth chocolate mixture.
-
Pour and Spread: Pour the chocolate khoya mixture onto the center of the white khoya layer on the thali. Allow it to naturally spread outward, ensuring that the chocolate layer remains in the center while the white layer surrounds it.
-
Chill and Set: Transfer the prepared thali into the refrigerator and let it chill for a few hours or preferably overnight until the barfi sets completely.
-
Garnish and Serve: Once set, garnish the Chocolate Barfi with edible foil or any desired toppings for an elegant touch. Carefully cut the barfi into neat pieces and serve to delight your taste buds! 🎉
