Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Grease an 8-inch square pan with ghee and line the base with parchment for easy release; set aside.

  2. 2

    In a heavy-bottom saucepan, mix chickpea flour and ghee over low heat until fully combined and aromatic, about 3–5 minutes, stirring and scraping constantly to prevent burning.

  3. 3

    Stir in the grated coconut and cook for 2–3 minutes until lightly toasted and blended in.

  4. 4

    Add milk, sweetened condensed milk, and granulated sugar to the pan. Increase heat to medium-low and cook, stirring constantly to prevent lumps, until the mixture thickens and starts leaving the sides of the pan, about 20–25 minutes.

  5. 5

    Stir in the cardamom powder. Continue stirring and watch for the mixture to pull into a soft mass that holds its shape and forms a dense, fudge-like texture.

  6. 6

    Immediately pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Working quickly, level and smooth the top with a greased spatula.

  7. 7

    Allow to cool completely at room temperature, then cut into squares or diamonds before serving.

Personalized Q&A
Q. What's the key ingredient in this Seven Cup Barfi recipe?
The signature ingredient in Seven Cup Barfi is chickpea flour (besan), which gives the sweet its distinct flavor and fudgy structure. Along with ghee, milk, coconut, and condensed milk, it delivers the classic nutty richness this barfi is known for.
Q. What is the most important cooking tip for the perfect texture?
Constant stirring over low to medium-low heat is crucial. This prevents sticking or burning and ensures even cooking and a smooth, melt-in-the-mouth consistency. Watch carefully for the mixture to thicken and leave the sides of the pan before setting.
Q. How do I avoid overcooking or undercooking the barfi?
Overcooking will result in a dry and crumbly barfi, while undercooking keeps it too soft or sticky. Remove from heat as soon as the mixture pulls together and starts to leave the pan sides but still feels soft enough to set in the tray. Cooling will firm it perfectly.

Each serving (55g) of Seven Cup Barfi provides approximately 220 kcal, with 31g of carbohydrates (56%), 4g of protein (7%), and 9g of fat (37%). This makes it quite rich and best enjoyed as a treat.
