Take the Aluminium Pan or Tray and grease the surface with Ghee. Other option is to use aluminium foil or butter paper by lining it over the pan and then greasing it with Ghee.
To make Besan Barfi, first heat the Ghee in a deep heavy pan or kadai over low heat till it melts.
Add Besan and Sooji (Rava) into the Ghee. Roast the Besan and Sooji by continuously stirring it non-stop with the help of spatula.
Initially the Besan will absorb the Ghee and will become thicker and dry. Keep stirring it continuously.
As you continue roasting the besan for some time you will see that the besan will start becoming thinner and will start releasing Ghee from the sides of the kadai.
Keep stirring and roasting the besan till it is properly cooked and a nice golden colour is obtained. Also while roasting, keep a look so that the besan does not stick to the bottom of the kadai.
As the besan is being roasted on one side, let’s prepare the Sugar Syrup on the other side.
Heat 1/4 cup of water along with 1/2 cup of Sugar in a sauce pan.
Boil the sugar syrup till one thread consistency of the syrup is obtained. If you want you can add yellow food colour to it to give a nice colour to the Barfi.
Take the prepared Sugar Syrup and pour it into the besan mixture. Mix the syrup and besan properly and continue roasting it.
Besan should be properly roasted and should not be raw. If the besan remains raw then the taste will not come out good. So proper roasting is must.
Next add Cardamom Powder and Finely Chopped Dry Fruits. Mix all the ingredients properly and continue cooking.
Once the besan mixture attains the required texture, switch off the stove. The texture should be such that on transferring it to the tray, the Barfi is properly set. It should neither be too thick nor too thin.
Immediately transfer the cooked Besan Barfi mixture into the greased tray.
Spread the mixture evenly all over the tray with the help of spatula. Make the surface plain with the spatula.
Sprinkle some Chopped Dry Fruits over the Barfi mixture. Press the dry fruits with the spatula and allow it to cool.
After about 5-7 minutes when the Barfi becomes warm and is still soft, take a knife and cut it into small square shapes or cube shapes Barfi.
Keep the tray aside and allow the Barfi to set on its own.
After about 15-20 minutes the Barfi will completely set. It may take a little longer time also depending upon the thickness of the Barfi mixture.
After the Barfi completely cools down, it is ready to serve. Serve Besan Barfi directly or serve it by freezing.
