Tips & Secrets
- Using fresh coconut is mandatory for achieving the traditional professional-grade juicy and flavorful result.
- Cook on a low flame only; high heat will brown the coconut and ruin the professional-grade snowy appearance.
- Adding khoya or milk powder provides a sophisticated professional balance to the texture of the barfi.
- Ensure the mixture is thick and non-sticky before spreading; this is mandatory for a professional-grade firm set.
