Making barfis can be quite hard on a hectic day, because you got to focus a lot on it and should remember the measurements of whole lot of stuff. But there is one recipe which breaks all these rules and taste so much better than the regular barfi. The recipe for this so easy to remember. The rule is to remember a cup, Take a cup and use that to measure all the ingredients..You need 1 cup of besan, milk, ghee, coconut.. but the sugar amount should be thrice,ie, 3 cup. Totally all the ingredient should be a total of 7 cup. Hence the name.
So make this barfi using a single cup and you would be glad you did that.
