MANOHARI BARFI

The word Manohari has several different meanings, Lord Krishna was fondly called Murli Manohar as he stole the hearts of everyone when he player his flute. It is that which captivates, is beautiful and fascinates and this particular sweet truly does that. It excites and tantalises the tastebuds both with its unique flavour and texture and looks beautiful when cut into even bars and garnished (if you want to).

1 litter whole milk

1/2 cup sugar

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon ghee

In a heavy bottomed kadai, boil the milk on high heat stirring continually for about 1 hour 15 minutes. Once milk appears thick in consistency add lemon juice, keep stirring for about 5 minutes. Add sugar and keep stirring, reduce the heat to medium. As the milk mixture becomes thick, add ghee and keep stirring until the mixture is solid. Turn the heat off and pour the mixture on a greased tray and spread evenly. Keep on the side to cool for about 3 to 4 hours and cut into pieces. Enjoy truly divine manohari barfi.
