Barfi

Barfi, sometimes burfi or burfee or borfee( Hindi: बर्फ़ी, Urdu: برفی‎, Bengali: বরফি ), is a sweet confectionary from the Indian subcontinent. Plain barfi is made from condensed milk, cooked with sugar until it solidifies. The many varieties of barfi include besan barfi (made with gram flour), kaaju barfi (made with cashews), and pista barfi (made with ground pistachios). The name is derived from the Persian word barf which means "snow", since barfi is similar to ice/snow in appearance, this is why it is served cold.
