Pistachio Barfi Bars

Who loves barfi ?? I do…absolutely love it…now if I was a person who stands in the kitchen for long time and make traditional barfi that would have been good but that’s not the case, I like to make thing quick so that I can eat them quick .

These bars taste like barfi, and very delicious and healthy of course. Festival season starts in India with Ganesh Chaturthi and a perfect reason to make something sweet. Barfi is traditionally made with thickening the milk on low flame, then dry fruits, cardamon and saffron is added to it.
