Ingredients
- Cashew Nuts - 2 cups Or 300 Grams
- Pomegranate Juice - 1/2 cup
- Sugar - 1 cup
- Ghee - 1 Teaspoon
- Few edible Silver leaf sheets, optional
Directions
- Put the cashew nuts in a mixer jar, and grind to a fine powder using the pulse option of the mixer grinder. The cashew nuts turn lumpy, if you process the mixer grinder for a long time. So make sure to use the pulse option to grind the cashews.
- If you want a soft and smooth textured Barfi, sieve the cashew powder and grind the coarse particles. Continue the process until you get most of the cashew nut powder and set aside.
- Take sugar in a heavy bottomed pan, add in the pomegranate juice and mix well.
- Boil on medium heat until one string consistency attained. Stir in between.
- Now add in the cashew nut powder and combine well without any lumps.
- Continue stirring until slightly thick. Then add in one teaspoon ghee and mix well.
- Cook until the cashew mixture becomes thick and starts to leave the sides of the pan. Then lower the heat and check the consistency. To check the consistency, take a small portion of the mixture into a bowl and allow to cool slightly, then try to make a ball out of the mixture. If you are able to make the ball without sticking it in your fingers, that's the right consistency.
- Now transfer the mixture to a greased plate and let it cool down a little.
- While the mixture is still warm, knead the mixture for few minutes to form a soft dough.
- Once the dough is done, transfer it to a parchment paper.
- Gently roll the dough using a rolling pin to all the sides and make a 1/4 to 1/2 inch uniform thick sheet.
- Now place some edible silver leaf sheets on top of it. It's completely optional.
- Cut it into desired shapes, separate the Pomegranate Barfi pieces and enjoy.
- You can store the Pomegranate Barfi for a month when stored in an airtight container.
NOTES
For best Results,
- Try to use premium quality whole cashews.
- Boil the sugar syrup until one string consistency. To check the sugar syrup consistency, take a drop of syrup between your forefinger and thumb and gently pull your fingers apart, one string will be formed and it will be firm. This is one string consistency.
