Gond Khoya Barfi Jammu Special with step wise pictorial and video method.

Mouthwatering barfi made with khoya and adorned with puffed gond makes a melt in mouth sweet Gond khoya barfi hailing from Jammu region of Jammu and Kashmir.

Made with just 4 ingredients, this is the easiest sweet you can make on any special occasion or festival like Diwali, Rakshabandhan or Bhai dooj.

Although it is a regular khoya barfi but with a different which makes it jammu special. Generally khoya barfi is decorated with nuts or left as it is but this one is decorated with puffed gond. 

Again this is not a complete Gond khoya barfi as well because gond is not a part of the barfi in itself like gond ladoo does.

But one thing to remember in this recipe that the gond used is that winter gond commonly used to make sweets.

Although everyone must be knowing that there’s another gond also which is a common usable ingredient gond katira and don’t confuse it with gond used in the present recipe.

Soft, chew melt in mouth barfi with the crunch of gond is something totally mesmerizing and the taste is unforgettable.

STEP WISE PICTORIAL RECIPE OF GOND KHOYA BARFI JAMMU SPECIAL

Take a thick bottomed pan and add desi ghee. When ghee is lightly hot, add gond.

Fry till it puffs up and becomes whitish. It will take just a minute or so. Take the fried gond out of the pan.

Now add khoya in the same pan. If khoya is hard, you need not to grate it. Also add sugar.

Now start cooking at the low temperature. Break the big chunks of khoya. 

Keep cooking. Initially khoya will melt. Add cardamom powder. Keep stirring.

After about 20 minutes of cooking, khoya will begin to leave the sides of the pan. 

TEST : Here we did a small test. Take a droplet of khoya in a plate. Let it cool down completely for a minute. Then roll it in your fingers, if it takes a proper shape and roll without sticking to your hand, its a sign that khoya is properly cooked. But if it doesn’t, its a sign that you need to cook it bit more. The roll we made was sticking to our hand.

Not at 20, but our test succeeded after 30 minutes of cooking. Roll came out so perfect and rolling in a hand without sticking.

Immediately transfer the khoya in a greased thali. Level it properly. While the khoya is hot, sprinkle the gond all the surface of khoya, like we generally do with nuts.

Let it cool down completely. Cut into barfi shape and enjoy.
