इसे कैसे बनाएं

चरण 1 of 3

Grind the Nuts

⏱ 0–8 min

Add cashews, almonds and pistachios to a food processor. Pulse in short 3-second bursts, 8 to 10 times, until you get a coarse crumb — stop before the mixture turns to paste.

For a smoother barfi with cleaner diamond cuts, pulse an additional 4 to 5 times. Coarser grind gives more visible nut texture; finer grind gives a more uniform set.
💡 विशेष सुझाव Freeze the nuts for 20 minutes before grinding — cold nuts release less oil and crumble more evenly without clumping together.

चरण 2 of 3

Cook the Mixture

⏱ 8–20 min

Heat a heavy-bottomed kadhai on low. Add ghee and let it melt, then add the ground nut mixture. Stir continuously with a flat spatula for 2 minutes.

Add Khand and crushed green elaichi seeds. Keep stirring on low heat — the mixture will first loosen as the Khand melts, then slowly come together into a soft dough over 8 to 12 minutes. Add raisins in the last 2 minutes if using.

The mixture is ready when it pulls away cleanly from the sides of the pan and forms a soft, non-sticky ball.
💡 विशेष सुझाव Never raise the heat to speed up this stage. High heat burns the nut oils and gives a bitter taste. Low and slow is the only way to get the right colour and flavour.

चरण 3 of 3

Set and Cut

⏱ 20–30 min

Grease a flat tray or thali lightly with ghee. Transfer the warm mixture and press into an even layer about 1.5 cm thick using a spatula or greased palm.

Add a drop of rose water over the surface and smooth it in. Sprinkle crushed pistachios on top for garnish if desired.

Allow to cool at room temperature for 8 to 10 minutes, then refrigerate for 5 minutes. Cut into diamond shapes using a sharp knife — score lightly first, then press through cleanly.
💡 विशेष सुझाव Use a ruler for even diamond cuts. 3 cm by 4 cm is the classic Diwali mithai size — small enough for one bite, large enough to look impressive on a festive tray.

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले प्रश्न

What is dry fruit barfi made of?

Dry fruit barfi is made of finely ground cashews, almonds and pistachios, bound together with Khand (unrefined cane sugar) and flavoured with green elaichi. At Sindhi Dry Fruits, we source premium-grade nuts with no additives — the same quality we have offered since 1939.

Can I make dry fruit barfi without ghee?

Yes. You can reduce ghee to just a few drops for lightly greasing the tray. The binding in this barfi comes from the natural oils released when nuts are ground and gently cooked — not from ghee. A vegan version works well with a light brush of coconut oil instead.

What are the dry fruits benefits in barfi?

The dry fruits benefits are substantial — almonds provide 35% of daily protein and 26% of calcium per 100 g, while cashews deliver 86% of daily magnesium and 39% of daily iron (USDA FDC, ICMR-NIN 2020). This makes dry fruit barfi a nutritious festive sweet that supports bone health, energy metabolism and immune function in every bite.

How long does dry fruit barfi stay fresh?

Stored in an airtight container at room temperature, dry fruit barfi stays fresh for 5 to 7 days. Refrigerated, it lasts up to 2 weeks. The high nut content and absence of dairy preserve it naturally — one of the dry fruits benefits that makes nut-based sweets ideal for gifting.

Can I order premium nuts for barfi from Sindhi Dry Fruits?

Yes. We deliver whole cashews, California almonds, pistachio kernels and Khand across India with fast doorstep delivery. Order online at sindhidryfruits.live and get the exact premium nuts this recipe calls for — ideal for Diwali home cooking and gifting.
