BARFI - TRADITIONAL XTRA SPECIAL INDIAN SWEET - Trinidad

BARFI - TRADITIONAL INDIAN SWEET - Trinidad
Barfi is a traditional Indian sweet that's popular especially during Divali (Diwali) and Eid. It's one the first things I eat when I get my hands on a 'sweets bag' during either of these festivities.

Hi greetings 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹 👋 count me in I want to try it. I'm from Baltimore I hope to meet more 🇹🇹 people & try dishes. I want to try barfi

[@azeezalalchan3489]

If you don't get it right don't throw away the barfi put it back in a pot an keep turning it to help the sugar dry up an help hold the mixture together just it will have a little caramel taste. Don't throw out good stuff.

[@lexi-xf5gb]

thank you so much! the barfi turned out exactly like how I expected it to be :)

[@JennaGTheHijabiTT]

Don't throw away spoiled barfi mixture, it makes good tea. Just put some in hot water

[@davikaharrilal2358]

Love the way u explained your recipe. Unwound like a measurement tho. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward for me 🙏👍✌

[@MrsVenomousTrinidadian]

My favorite ❤️💕

[@srkusa]

You can use a colander to sieve the mixture in the beginning (incase one doesn't have a food processor). Just lightly press through the holes and you'll get the same granular texture. Additionally, one doesn't need ginger in this recipe (not everyone likes this) and nor is it needed. Cardamom and some ground nutmeg would do the trick.

[@JennaGTheHijabiTT]

Thanks for sharing that

[@srkusa]

@@JennaGTheHijabiTT You're very welcome! I used to make barfi this way till I found an easier method🙂

[@samanthabenny8]

Can't wait to try it. For some reason when I make barfi, it gets very gummy and chewy. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

[@JennaGTheHijabiTT]

The ratio of the cream and powdered milk might be wrong....more powdered milk and less cream for it to be more crumbly

[@jayabhat2441]

please take out a couple of pieces and show the end product so the viewers know how it turned out. Thanks.

Hi do you have a recipe for coconut barfi?

[@JennaGTheHijabiTT]

I don’t... sorry much

[@vasheetamaharaj7017]

Could I use condensed milk instead of the Nestle Cream?

[@JennaGTheHijabiTT]

Wudnt recommend using the condensed milk instead... won’t give the same consistency or taste

[@faithfullyprayerfull8919]

Hi do u have a roat recipe??

[@JennaGTheHijabiTT]

Hey... unfortunately I don’t

[@Huntington446]

[@mohaniemaharaj6278]

Can you clarify this recipe with the cream. I saw you emptied the entire tin of cream , was that 150g because the tin is 300g.

[@JennaGTheHijabiTT]

Hey! Yes you are right... it’s one tin which is 300g not 150g

[@anniepersad7875]

Great video ...I can never seem to get my barfi to get hard ...would u mind saying average how much in a candy thermometer the syrup has to reach ...will really appreciate it 😊

[@SuperRastian]

I have this same problem! When i added all the syrup, it was alittle too watery :( i guess you just have to add little by little until you get the correct texture

[@JennaGTheHijabiTT]

Hey! The sugar mixture is very very tricky I will admit myself... it needs to thicken up... when u dip your spoon in the mixture and pull it up, the liquid should not really flow straight off the spoon... it shud drip off...or ‘thread’ as they say... it is tricky but keep trying it

[@JennaGTheHijabiTT]

So sorry I’m now seeing this!

I use ghee to flatten the top so it will be smooth .

[@jvboss9040]

Booo

[@TheQueenbeee123]

Everything came out good but this recipe needed either less milk or more sugar and water mixture. It came out grainy n dry mixture did not hold together. But it tasted great. Just it is not in a block form

[@JennaGTheHijabiTT]

Thanks for your feedback! I’ve changed the measurement from 2 to 3 cups of sugars and back to 2 a few times... but I eventually included a note about the both measurements. I’ve done it with 2 cups and it held together nicely but the 3 cups is the safer bet especially since that sugar mixture step is such a tricky part. I hope it can be of some help to others using the recipe. Thanks again for sharing your experience.

[@freedomqueen3839]

Trinidad food is just like Mauritian food. To cause creole.

[@prewishchangoe6901]

Do u have to put the barfi in the fridge?

[@JennaGTheHijabiTT]

Hey, no you don't but you can

[@ienmel]

Lol I’ve been practicing since I was 12 and now I’m 34 and it still either not holding together well enough or the sugar end up cooking a little to long and get a little color lol... now as far as everything else I’m an expert (using that term lightly lol) but this is my number one problem...

What is the nestlé cream is it a milk or butter
