Aate Ki Barfi Recipe | Wheat Besan Burfi – Halwai Style with step-by-step photo and video recipe. Indian recipes are known for their traditional sweets that are made for various reasons and occasions. These sweets are considered high calorie and always scrutinized as unhealthy food. Then there are some healthy sweets too, made with wheat flour, and sugar, and Aate ki barfi is one such healthy sweet recipe from Gujarat.

I have posted several sweets till now, but as per my knowledge, most of them are sugar-based sweets or desserts. The reason I am mentioning this is that I started getting several requests for sweet recipes without sugar. I was planning to make Aate ki barfi with jaggery initially. But I thought of making a traditional recipe compared to a healthy alternative. Having said that usage of jaggery can be difficult sometimes, especially for a novice cook. Sugar syrup in most of the barfi recipes helps to give shape and strength to the sweets. Whereas jaggery may not necessarily contribute to the same effect. So you may need to be extra careful while shaping and handling these wheat barfi sweets.

Furthermore, I would like to conclude with some, tips, suggestions, and variations to the aate ki barfi recipe. Firstly, always use fresh and good quality wheat and chickpea flour to prepare these wheat barfi sweets. You are already using jaggery for the sweetness which does not cooperate while shaping, so you have to be extra careful with flour. Secondly, you can make the same barfi recipe with the same quantity of jaggery too. You may need to attain one-string consistency before attempting with jaggery. Lastly, you can make the same barfi recipe with your choice of flour. My recommendations would be to use maida, ragi, or a combination of wheat and plain flour.
