I've never heard of the ghee variety, but the coconut barfi is delicious. I haven't heard of it in years, thanks for the recipe, duchess.
500g full cream powdered milk
3/4 cup ghee*
1/4 cup liquid milk
2 cups caster sugar
1/2 cup water
*ghee can get at any Indian shop- ghee(butter without salt) made from cows milk.
1) crease a tray or a plate with thin film of ghee.
2) mix ghee & liquid milk to powered milk, make a hard
dough, & grate the dough in a colander, it would appear
as tiny grainy balls.
3) in a large saucepan start boiling sugar & 1/2 cup water
stir, to dissolve the sugar.( about 5-8 mins to boil).
4) to check if the syurp is ready then pour a drop on a dry
saucer or plate, the drop should look like "pearl drop",
even if you shake the saucer it should run. Now its ready,
off the stove.
5) ready to mix, all the milk mixture.
pour the mixture on the crease tray. not very long you can
cut in cubes or square.
