6 Katori Barfi

Happy Ganesh Chaturthi everyone !! The festival that really brings Mumbai to life ..one of my favourites too. Yes , modak is the traditional favourite but you can appease Him with anything sweet :) Hooked on to this super easy barfi recipe as easy as 1-2-3( well till 6 actually) . Learnt it from my friend's mom-in-law who calls it the 6 katori barfi as that's how easy it is to remember

Ingredients (makes about 24 squares)

1 katori milk (I use skimmed milk)
1 katori besan
1 katori ghee
1 katori dessicated coconut
2 katoris sugar

1. In a thick bottomed kadai (important), mix all the ingredients together.
2. Then place the kadai on a slow flame and start mixing the ingredients again slowly. This is all you need to do for about 20-25 minutes, with mixing required less in the beginning and more towards the end.
3. The mixture is ready when you notice the sides and the bottom of the kadhai turning brown and you need to scrape the sides more often. The mixture would have also reduced by almost half by now into a sticky mixture.
4. Pour onto a greased thali and spread out to to about 1 cm thickness. Garnish with coconut and elaichi powder
5. Cool and cut into squares.
