Shardiya Navratri: Method to make milk barfi
To make milk barfi, first of all, put milk in a thick bottom pan and boil it on medium flame.
Keep in mind, you have to keep stirring it continuously so that the milk does not stick to the bottom.
Boil the milk till it remains half its quantity and thickens.
This process may take some time, but keep stirring it continuously during this time.
When the milk thickens, add sugar to it and mix well. Cook till the sugar dissolves completely.
Now add cardamom powder and mix it. This will give a unique taste to the barfi.
Turn off the gas and let the mixture cool down a little, then grease a barfi tray and pour the cooled mixture into it.
Finally decorate it by adding finely chopped nuts on top, then keep it in the fridge for at least 4-5 hours so that it sets.
Just then when it sets, cut the barfi in the desired shape and offer it to the mother.
