Milk Powder Barfi
Hi all,
It has been quite some time now since I posted a recipe. To be honest, the passionate cook in me, as if has taken a back seat and it is the robotic self who has taken over. But then I watched this movie Julie and Julia and it spurred the cook in me.
The movie is the story of Julie who is not so happy about her job and one fine day, decides to do something she enjoys. Yes! you guessed it right- Cooking. She decides to write a blog and to cook the recipes in Mastering the Art of French Cooking by Julia Child in one year. I was quite swept away by the movie and instantly decided to try something new.
They say that 'When life gives you Lemons- make Lemonade'. Similarly, when a friend gives you milk powder- make this barfi (LOL). Jokes apart.One of my friends had given me this big pack of milk powder and when I thought of experimenting in the kitchen, I knew what I want to cook.
So, here it is - an extremely simple and hassle-free recipe for barfi which you can try anytime. Also, this will break the monotony of the 'mithai-making' ritual during the festivities.
