How long does it take to make besan barfi?

About 35 minutes: 10 minutes prep and 25 minutes of roasting and setting, yielding around 4 servings.

Why use Anveshan ghee for besan barfi?

Anveshan bilona ghee roasts the gram flour to a rich golden colour and gives the barfi its signature nutty aroma and smooth texture.

Can I use khandsari instead of refined sugar?

Yes, this recipe uses unrefined Anveshan khandsari, which sweetens the barfi cleanly without the harshness of refined white sugar.

How do I know when the besan is roasted enough?

Roast on low heat until the besan turns golden and releases a nutty fragrance; under-roasting leaves a raw, bitter taste.
