Nachni (Ragi) Barfi

I had a bottle of nachni flour at home and wanted to make something healthy and delicious at the same time. After a bit of pondering about, I thought about all the other flour (atta) barfi’s that we usually eat. That’s when I decided to make barfi out of this nachni atta.

Makes about 20 pieces of 1.5 inch each

Ingredients:

¾ cups of nachni flour

1 cup of jiggery

¼ cup crushed peanuts

100 gms mawa

3 tbsp ghee

Almond for garnish

Method:

Dry roast the nachni atta till it changes color and starts giving out an aroma. This should take about 10-12 mins. Keep aside

Heat ghee in vessel. Add the jiggery and cook till it completely melts.

Now add the mawa and mix well it complete dissolves. Now add the crushed groundnuts and mix for about 1-2 mins.

Now add the roasted nachni atta and mix well. Keep the flame low.

Continue mixing this for about 7-8 mins.

Switch off the flame

Grease a thali or small metal box. Add this mixture to the greased vessel.

Make cuts for pieces of your choice.

Let it cool outside first and then keep in fridge for about 2-3 hours.

Delicious barfi is ready to be served.
