Singhara Barfi
Vrat special Singhara, aka water chestnut barfi, delicious to the core and so easy to make
Ingredients
- 1/2 Cup Singhara Flour
- 1/3 Cup Sugar
- 1.5 Cup Water
- 2 Tbsp Ghee / Clarified Butter
- 1/4 Tsp Cardamom Powder
Instructions
- Take a heavy bottom pan and put it on medium flame. Add butter/ghee to it. Once ghee is warm add Singhada / water chestnut flour to it.
- Slowly roast this with constant stirring. When it changes colour and start oozing ghee, switch off the flame. This should take around 7-8 minutes to roast it.
- Now add lukewarm water to it slowly and keep stirring so that it won't make any lump. When mixed put it on medium flame again and stir constantly.
- After 5 minutes when it's little thick add sugar and cardamom powder and stir it for 5 minutes more. Once it's thick and start leaving sides of pan, switch off flame.
- Your fudge is ready. You can serve it according to your choice, I like it in pieces, hence I transferred the fudge on a greased tray and garnished some desiccate coconut on it. And after its little cooled, cut it into pieces.
Notes
- Always add water when it's lukewarm. In case water is Hot/Cold it would make lumps in fudge.
- The key thing of this fudge is constant stirring from start till end.
