About Barfi

Every Indian sweet shop makes and sells a variety of Barfi such as kaju barfi, besan barfi, khoya barfi, chocolate barfi, nariyal barfi, and so on. Mawa is a dried or thick evaporated milk mainly used to make Indian sweets and desserts. It is also known as khova (khoya). For this barfi recipe, you do not need readymade mawa.

Storage Suggestion
You can store mawa barfi at room temperature in an airtight container lined with parchment paper for 1 – 2 days. It remains highly soft and mouth melting. Do not leave barfi at room temperature for more than 2 days, especially in a hot and humid tropical climate. Store it in the refrigerator for a longer shelf life of 7 – 10 days. After storing it in the refrigerator, the texture of the sweet becomes slightly dense.
