This is my version of semolina/ rava kalakhand/ barfi.
INGREDIENTS
milk 750 ml
semolina 3 tbsp
sugar 3/4 cup roughly
nuts 1 tbsp
ghee 3 tbsp
jack fruit flour 1 heaped tbsp ( this flour supposed to reduce your sugar level spiking)
METHOD
either you can use milk that has curdled when heating, or curdle the milk !
but don't discard the whey, like they do in kalakhand.
In the kadai, the curdled milk with whey was boiling on lo flame for 5 minutes
I added semolina, stirring as I kept adding to prevent lumps forming
added the jack fruit flour, sprinkling little each time, till it all got incorporated
then added sugar, kept stirring, so that it doesn't get stuck at the bottom
as it got thickened, I added 1 tsp ghee each time and kept stirring
I repeated the process of adding ghee after every 2-3 minutes till it got well mixed
once I felt it was leaving the sides of the pan and getting thick, I added one more tsp of ghee
spread it on a greased plate and let it set for an hour or so, then I cut into pieces !
Hubby liked both barfis made today, as banana one came in a small plate only, it is almost over, 3 pieces only left. As no other sweets are at home, I wanted to make something for hubby.
once it got all mixed together
