Haldiram’s Besan Burfi: what it is, what it tastes like, ingredients etc.
What It Is
-
Besan Burfi (also spelled barfi) is a classic Indian sweet / confection.
-
The “besan” means chickpea flour (gram flour) — roasted in fat (usually ghee or clarified butter), mixed with sugar, hardened into slabs (square or diamond shapes), often garnished with nuts.
-
Haldiram’s version is a packaged burfi sold in 300 g (and sometimes 400 g) packs.
Texture & Flavor
-
Rich, nutty flavor from roasted chickpea flour.
-
Sweet (from sugar), with a creamy / buttery undertone from ghee.
-
Aromatic hints of cardamom; often almonds or other nuts are added for garnish or texture.
-
Texture is firm but somewhat crumbly; melts a bit in mouth because of the fat content.
