Ingredients
Sweetening and Flavoring
- 1/2 cup Sugar adjust to your sweetness preference
- 1/2 tsp Cardamom Powder elaichi; adds warmth and aroma
Instructions
Prepare the Bread
- Grind 4 slices of bread coarsely using a food processor or by hand. Soak the bread crumbs in 1 cup of milk for 15 minutes to soften.
Sauté Coconut and Bread
- Heat 1/4 cup of Desi Ghee in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup of grated coconut and sauté until lightly golden, stirring frequently. Add the soaked bread crumbs and mix well. Cook for a few minutes, adding a little extra milk if needed to prevent sticking.
Incorporate Sweeteners and Spices
- Stir in 1/2 cup of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of cardamom powder. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture starts to come together and leave the sides of the pan. This will take about 5-10 minutes.

- Stir in 1/2 cup of chopped dried fruits (optional). Grease a square baking dish (approximately 8x8 inches) with 2 tablespoons of butter. Pour the bread mixture into the prepared dish and spread evenly.
Cool and Cut
- Allow the Bread Barfi to cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, cut into small, square pieces. Serve and enjoy!
