Anjeer Barfi Recipe | Anjeer Burfi Recipe
Anjeer Barfi is a chewy and rich dry fruit sweet that is just perfect for festivals like Diwali or any special occasions. It is made by grinding figs, dates and nuts together, then sauté in ghee and finally shape into bars or slices. This burfi is special because it is naturally sweet from fruits itself, so no need of adding sugar.
Servings10 burfis
Ingredients
- 10 nos dates
- 30 nos figs
- 3 tablespoon nuts*
- 2 teaspoon ghee
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
- ⅛ teaspoon cardamom powder
*Notes : I used cashew and badam
Instructions
- Deseed dates. Chop them roughly.
- Soak figs in hot water for a while.
- In ½ teaspoon ghee fry the chopped nuts and set aside.
- Drain water and take soaked figs in a mixer and grind it to a paste, Set aside.
- Now add chopped dates and grind to a paste.
- In a pan add a teaspoon ghee add the fig dates mixture and keep sauteing for 5mins, add little ghee in between. At one stage it will form a mass and will come together without sticking.
- At this stage add roasted nuts and give a quick mix, Switch off and set aside to cool.
- In a kadai add poppy seeds and roast for a 2-3 minutes till a nutty aroma comes. Switch off and set aside.
- Make 2 logs from the mixture and roll over roasted poppy seeds to coat the outer layer.
- Wrap it in a butter paper. I made one log with poppy seeds coating and other plain.
- Wrap it tightly and refrigerate it at least for 2 hours. Then slice and serve.
- Anjeer Burfi keeps well for 3 days in room temperature itself!
Notes
- Soak figs well – I always soak dried figs in hot water to soften, otherwise they don’t grind smoothly.
- Roast nuts in ghee – I fry nuts in little ghee for flavor. You can use your choice of nuts.
- Consistency matters – Cook mixture until it forms a mass and leaves sides, then only burfi sets firm.
- Coating option – I roll the burfi like a log and coat them inroasted poppy seeds, it adds crunch. You can skip if you want plain.
- Setting time – I usually refrigerate for 2 hours before cutting. If you cut early, the pieces won’t hold shape well.
