Notes
- Roast the besan or chickpea flour patiently. If the flour is not roasted well, it will have an unpleasant raw taste. So take your time and roast until the flour is lightly golden and you get a nutty aroma.
- The time taken to roast besan properly depends on the thickness of the pan you’re using and the intensity of heat.
- Keep the heat low; otherwise, the besan will turn dark and taste bitter. Also, at a lower temperature, the roast is more uniform.
- Besan tends to form lumps. Keep breaking them with your wooden spoon or spatula to roast evenly.
- If the burfi mixture feels too dry, whisk in a tablespoon or two of milk to adjust the consistency.
- Allow the besan barfi to set for 30-40 minutes before cutting into squares.
