*EASY* Trini Milk Barfi- Divali Sweets

Barfi is one of those must-have desserts around Divali or Eid time. It's such a rich and flavorful dessert that has you wanting more and more. This Trini version differs from the East Indian version in many ways, but I prefer ours better.
The rich taste of ginger and cardamom and the delightful taste of the full cream milk will have your taste buds jumping for joy! This is a non-traditional way of making it, for those who struggle with getting the sugar syrup at the right stage.
Ingredients:
-3 cups of full cream milk powder ( 375 g)
1/2 3/4 can Nestle Media Crema (use heavy cream as a substitute)
-1 cup of sugar
-1/3 cup of water
- 4 tbsp ginger,minced
-rainbow sprinkles
-1/2 tsp ground clove
-1 tsp cardamom or elychee powder
Try it and let me know what you think!

Hey everyone watching this in 2019! I have taken all your comments into consideration and will work on updating this recipe for you. You can skip the grating part and just use a mesh strainer/sieve or just add it to a food processor. If you're adding it to the food processor, then just crumble up the mixture instead of forming it into a ball. Hope this is helpful! Happy Diwali everyone. Wishing you love, light and prosperity.

[@andreajagessar2381]

At what heat do u boil the syrup

[@cailox3425]

love you baber

[@Amanda-xw5mi]

I saw alot of comments telling you how to do it better, but I think some people don't understand not everyone may own a food processor or a fine sieve or can afford wax paper to line a dish, so using the grater was very good information. The easiest cost free way to deal with the sticking to the dish is to put it on the refrigerator a bit. Drys it up and it unsticks. I think your recipe is perfect as is.

[@TasteofTrini]

Thanks for understanding, my dear! Wishing you a happy, holy Divali! ❤

[@michellepaul4095]

I love the grater technique

[@ianyanadipnarine3961]

yes

[@vanessaphillip1710]

Made some today and it was delicious! After reading some of the comments I didn’t shift the milk powder or grate it and it still came out great!

[@hemasookram4655]

Grating makes soooooo much more sense. Thanks

[@soniram5820]

used your recipe and made perfect barfi on first try!! thanks for posting!!!

[@bellasandi252]

You are truly an amazing Cook...Keep up the good work....God Bless and keep posting!

[@donnaramdin1454]

You made it look so easy... and perfect barfi in the end

[@michaelst.helene1540]

I have just been learning of Diwali and seeing this treat made frequently. I will have to try your recipe! thank you!

[@marinajattan4395]

it looks really easy I will try it

[@michelleramsaran8847]

Hello from Ireland! Am gonna try this recipe over the weekend ♥️ Looks delicious and well put together

[@kitchentoolss]

Lovely! You made the perfect burfi.

[@davikaharrilal2358]

Wow that looks wonderful 👍✌💙

[@iggi-ug1us]

excellent idea to grate the mixture instead of sifting it :)

[@deborahsuraj173]

Thank you for sharing. Blessings and love to you all.

[@iggi-ug1us]

Thanks again for another great recipe. first time my barfi held together and actually looked like barfi.

[@TasteofTrini]

iggi 2000 No problem, happy it came out great

[@Vincent2wice]

I haven't had one of these since trinidad which was about 15 years ago. delicious recipe! I can't wait to make this tomorrow for Diwali. thank you

[@TasteofTrini]

+Vincent2wice Wow, well let me know how it turns out! A little tip: When you add it to the pot, keep stirring on low heat. Also, have a glass of room temperature water next to you and every few mins, take some of the milk from the pan and put into the water. If it dissolves, then it's not ready; if it keeps its shape and stays together, then turn it off and place into your dish (you can oil it to make things easier). I think this batch of barfi I did for the video was a little bit over cooked so do the water test and it will turn out perfect!

[@shivaneeramlakhan]

Taste of Trini az👍👐👐👐🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔😂😂😂😂🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤗🙂🙂☺😍😍😍

[@mariahbosss6371]

It's looking good😍😍

[@sattvicradio1389]

This was a really good tutorial. A little suggestion ... line your dish with parchment or wax before setting the barfi. Then you can just lift the whole thing out. Can;t wait to try this. Thanks!

[@TasteofTrini]

Will do, thanks for the tip! Thanks for watching!

[@annaleealexander8980]

[@sunrisedarling]

[@abigailjohn5778]

This is by far the best barfi video i have seen and trust meh...ah see plennntyyyy! Its easier and not too time consuming...plus it doesn't crumb up and look rough... i love it😍👍

[@michelleparasram5953]

Watching this in 2020. Gonna try it now and give a feedback

[@shakeelmohammed2896]

Instead of grating or sifting, put it in a food processor with a 's' blade. It's much faster and works great

[@reshmabehari7149]

[@christinakalapnauth4106]

What brand and type milk did you use

[@cytoawatai.5730]

Hi love your recipes, can I use nestle cream?

[@lisanathu1383]

hey loved your video. quick question...instead of that heavy cream or that cream u had in the tin can i use condence milk?

[@TasteofTrini]

Hey, no, use heavy cream/whipping cream in place of that.

[@Mistaken_-vl9kg]

Best recipie

[@jonathanwallace9214]

What can I substitute for the creama

[@sachaali9977]

Hey I made both your kurma and barfi recipes for Divali, thank you very much for your videos you made it so easy to do. The kurma was perfect, i would like to say I am not good with averaging at all and the 3/4 can average i found a challenge (in retrospect i should have converted the grams of the tin and figure out the measurement in cups) i added too much cream, the only thing that would have made it easier was if i knew in cups preferably exactly how much to use and not just average and add too much. Nevertheless the taste was great, some ppl said it was one of the best barfi's they ever tasted. You will always be my go to person for Indian sweets, and cant wait to check out all your videos. Thanks so much good luck to you.

[@TasteofTrini]

+Sacha Ali Wow! That's amazing! Really glad you tried it and it came out good. 1/4 cup of cream is perfect for 3 cups of milk. Try it with that and let me know. Thanks again for checking out my videos! Really happy to hear your sweets were a success!

[@navitajaskaran598]

Taste of Trini hi how long can barafi stay without spoiling

[@celine8600]

I have a question. Do you leave on the stove while stirring the mixture?

[@sajidahali-ohab4642]

This is how we make it too, cook it up a bit in the pot, but we use a food processor to get it fine.

[@kavitaramgobin7289]

following this to make for divali

[@TasteofTrini]

Nice! Enjoy!

[@kloveys]

Hi what I'd like to know is did the barfi actually get hard or was it still a bit chewy? It would have been great if you crumbled the piece so we could see the consistency but never mind that I love your vids you seem to be pretty down to earth. Keep it up! Do you have any simple paneer recipes I've never eaten it and would like to try but don't want to buy a pack in the grocery and then dump it.

[@TasteofTrini]

+kloveys Hi, yes the barfi was still chewy and not hard at all. I make paneer but not too often. Will definitely do a video for you soon!

[@blessedchild8753]

[@TasteofTrini]

Hey! The cream is Nestlé heavy cream/table cream. You can find it at Walmart. Regular heavy or whipping cream can be used as well.

[@naiomiem9615]

Hi, as soon as I saw barfi I subscribed immediately. Can you do a vid about ladoo!? Thanks!

[@marissamaharaj304]

I did this method today, first time making it I adjusted the recipe a bit as I didn’t want leftover creme so I did 4c milk…. Came out perfect thanks for sharing

[@justdreadest]

[@TasteofTrini]

+justdreadest Of course!

[@steffanybalkaran9306]

Oh god I want

[@geetaramdeo687]

Hey your barfi looks yummy 😋 just want to know if i can use heavy cream instead of nestle cream

[@TasteofTrini]

Hi! Thank you. Yes, only use a little to squeeze the milk into clumps

[@sachinramsundar6979]

If i want to use 4 cup how much water an sugar to use

[@joshuamohammed6260]

Wonderful vid............ definitely gonna try this!!!! Also don't worry about those stupid illiterate haters eh..............

[@nisawilliams8708]

Hi Reshmi. How long can you keep barfi before it spoils? Out of the fridge

[@TasteofTrini]

Hey, I would keep it 1 day out of the fridge and 3 inside.

[@Bhavishah8]

if you chuck the grating part... just mix all ingredients and add to sugar syrup, it gives the same result... the grating part just looks too hectic... but overall looks good

[@TasteofTrini]

Will do, I have to definitely update this recipe :)

[@sarahbissoon3260]

can u list the ingredients an list the steps how to make it

[@TasteofTrini]

+sarah bissoon No problem. Working on that!

No the condensed milk won't give the same texture..it's a lot more sticky

[@cindyali3695]

Omg you did this the hard way boi ...... food processor is the way now ah days

[@michellepaul4095]

The grater was an excellent idea...not very one has a food processor....

[@kayannagonzales7692]

stir for 20 mins on low fire?

[@TasteofTrini]

+Kayanna Gonzales Yes, or until it starts to clump together. Have a glass of room temperature water on hand and as it starts clumping together, put a little bit of it in the glass and if it stays together then it's done. However, if it dissolves in the water, then it needs to cook for a little longer. Hope this was helpful!

[@blessedchild8753]
