Barfi, Barfee, Borfi or Burfi is a milk-based sweet from India. The name comes from Persian word barf, which means snow. Barfi is made by cooking the main ingredients: milk powder and sugar in a vessel until the mixture solidifies. The mixture is then transferred to a shallow pan and cooled down into a fudgey consistency. Finally, it is cut into squares, diamonds shapes and served. This sweet milk dessert has texture that is similar to a fudge with luxurious saffron and cardamom flavors. Barfi is often coated with edible silver leaf (vark) and sometimes rolled in crushed nuts before serving to add more flavor or color.
