Steps

1

Take 1/2 cup desi ghee in a heavy kadai and let it melt. Keep the flame to a low.
2

Once the Ghee has melted, then add two cups besan in parts. please use heavy Kadai, so that the besan Roasts evenly.
3

When the first portion of besan is added, mix it with the ghee.
4

Now add the second part of besan. Mix it again with the ghee. Mix very well and continue to stir the besan non stop on low flame.
5

Initially the ghee will be absorbed by the besan and you will see the mixture getting thicker.
6

Continue to stir and fry the besan in ghee. The besan mixture will become like one whole lump of mass or you may see it getting thicker and granular. continue to fry stirring very well. scrape the mixture from the bottom when you stir.
7

After some minutes of stirring you will see that the besan mixture starts to become molten and ghee will be released from the sides.
8

Continue to stir and fry besan till it starts having a nice nutty Aroma and the colour changes to a golden colour. Stir nonstop even after the ghee has released and till the besan gets roasted well and changes to a slight darker golden colour the roasted besan Aroma will be felt.
9

The mixture will become more molten as you continue to fry do not stop while stirring or else the basin will have uneven colour.
10

Stirring nonstop, you will come to a stage where the besan will have a nice golden colour and will have a good Aroma. it's important to fry the besan very well or else you will get the raw taste of besan in the Barfi.
11

Once the besan has roasted well keep the pan down. Add one tsp cardamom powder and mix well.

Sugar syrup for besan Barfi
13

Take 1 cup sugar and half cup water keep the pan on stove on a low medium flame. With a spoon stir well, so that all the sugar dissolves.
14

The sugar syrup will start boiling and reducing. Keep a plate handy and test a few drops of the sugar syrup till you get a two thread consistency. After adding the few drops of sugar syrup on the plate, let it cool for some seconds and then check. You need to get a two thread consistency in the syrup.
15

Once the sugar syrup reached a 2 thread consistency, then quickly pour all the syrup in the besan mixture. Quickly mix everything very well. You have to be quick and fast as the mixture begins to harden.
16

When the besan mixture leave the sides of the pan quickly pour the besan halwa in the greased pan.
17

Shake the pan and then with a spatula even the layer. Sprinkle chopped almonds, cashews on top. Press the nuts with the spatula so that they stick to the besan Barfi.
18

Let it set till becomes warm and slice the besan barfi in cubes or square. If you want then you can also put silver berk.
