✨ Cardamom Pistachio Barfi

A rich, fudge-like Indian sweet flavored with aromatic cardamom and topped with crunchy pistachios.

Ingredients

• 3 cups milk powder

• ½ tsp ground cardamom (adjust to taste)

• Pinch of salt

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 2 tbsp chopped pistachios

  
  

Instructions

1. Combine & heat: In a large, heavy saucepan, whisk together milk powder, milk, ghee, sugar, and salt on low heat.

2. Cook gently: Stir continuously for 8–10 minutes, until the mixture comes together into a thick, fudge-like paste.

3. Add flavor: Remove from heat, then stir in vanilla and ground cardamom until fully incorporated.

4. Press & chill: Transfer the mixture into a parchment-lined pan, pressing it evenly into a ½-inch layer.

5. Finish & set: Sprinkle chopped pistachios on top and press them gently into the surface. Chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour until firm.

6. Serve: Cut into bite-size squares. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week—or refrigerated if preferred.
