NOTES

Toast the walnuts lightly by heating in a pan over a gentle heat whilst turning continuously. As soon
as the nuts become aromatic, remove from the pan.

I finely chopped the nuts using a knife but you can use a blender or food processor. If you use
electrical equipment, pulse only as we want to keep plenty of texture and bite in the nuts.

When roasting milk powder, the heat should be kept on low and you must constantly stir. The milk
powder colour should not change, we are only looking to roast the powder until it is lightly aromatic.
Switch off the heat as soon as you can smell the milk powder. Keep stirring for 1 minute as the pan
will remain hot.

The barfi mixture may appear runny once cooked but it will harden and thicken as it cools.
The time taken to set Barfi changes depending on the heat. In the winter, I find that barfi can set
within two hours but in the summer it takes much longer.
