Besan Barfi Recipe | Besan Ki Chakki | Besan Ki Mithai with step-by-step photo and video recipe. barfi recipes are common types of Indian sweets and snacks prepared for all major occasions. basically, it can be prepared with all types of flour, nuts or dry fruits, but there are certain flours that are ideal to prepare this burfi. one such barfi recipe is besan ki burfi which uses chickpea flour that results in one of the smooth and creamy textures for a barfi.
I am personally not a huge fan of barfi recipes and I prefer more savoury snack recipes. yet there are certain sweet recipes that I just crave. Besan-based sweets are one of them for sure. my first choice has to be the Mysore Pak recipe, especially the hard-textured one with a porous texture in it. the next has to be the besan burfi recipe. As I was explaining earlier, there are multiple ways to the besan burfi but my personal favourite is this recipe. typically, the barfi is prepared with just besan flour or chickpea flour. But I tried to make it like a halwai style. in other words, they do add rava or semolina which makes it moist, creamy and rich. it is not mandatory to add but makes its mouth-melting barfi mithai. as matter of fact try adding rava or semolina to most of the barfi recipes and you should see the difference straight away. do let me know what you think about this new version of besan ki chakki.
Furthermore, some more additional tips, suggestions and variants to the besan burfi recipe. firstly, for the best result, besan flour or chickpea flour holds a key role and I would heavily recommend using premium quality besan flour. particularly, you do get a besan ladoo flour which I would particularly recommend using for this. secondly, the texture and hardness of the barfi mainly depend upon the sugar syrup string consistency. as you increase the consistency it would become harder in texture. lastly, the shelf life of this sweet can easily last long for a couple of weeks easily. yet as it ages it would become more hard in texture. Therefore, it is recommended to preheat or microwave it for 10 seconds and then serve it.

Notes:

- Also, the consistency of sugar syrup is crucial, if it is overcooked the burfi hardens, and if undercooked then it remains soft.
- Additionally, you can add dry fruits of your choice to make it interesting.
- Finally, in the besan burfi recipe you can also add mawa or milk to make it super moist.
