Sev Ki Barfi Recipe

 

Sure! Here's a recipe for Sev Ki Barfi, a popular Indian sweet made with vermicelli (sev) and condensed milk:

Ingredients:

- 1 cup vermicelli (sev)

- 1 cup condensed milk

- 1/2 cup ghee (clarified butter)

- 1/2 cup sugar

- 1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder

- A pinch of saffron strands (optional)

- Chopped nuts for garnishing (e.g., almonds, pistachios)

Instructions:

1. Heat ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan or kadai over medium heat.

2. Add the vermicelli (sev) to the pan and roast it until it turns golden brown. Stir continuously to ensure even browning and to prevent burning.

3. Once the sev is golden brown, reduce the heat to low and add condensed milk to the pan. Mix well until the condensed milk is fully incorporated

with the sev.

4. Add sugar to the mixture and continue stirring. The sugar will melt and the mixture will become thick.

5. Stir in cardamom powder and saffron strands (if using) for flavor and aroma.

6. Keep stirring the mixture on low heat until it thickens and starts leaving the sides of the pan. This process can take about 15-20 minutes.

7. Grease a square or rectangular pan with ghee and transfer the mixture into it. Spread it evenly and smoothen the surface with a spatula.

8. Garnish the top with chopped nuts, pressing them slightly into the mixture.

9. Allow the barfi to cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for a couple of hours to set.

10. Once set, remove the barfi from the refrigerator and cut it into desired shapes like squares or diamonds.

11. Serve the delicious Sev Ki Barfi as a sweet treat or as a dessert after a meal. It can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Enjoy your homemade Sev Ki Barfi!
