Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Soak the dried figs in warm water for 20 minutes, then drain and blend them into a smooth paste with the whole milk.

  2. 2

    Chop the almonds, cashews, and pistachios into small pieces and set aside.

  3. 3

    In a nonstick pan over medium-low heat, add the ghee. Once hot, stir in the fig paste and cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring to prevent sticking.

  4. 4

    Add the sweetened condensed milk to the mixture, continue to cook over medium heat, and stir constantly for 6–8 minutes until the mixture thickens.

  5. 5

    Mix in the cardamom powder and chopped nuts, continue cooking while stirring until the mixture leaves the sides of the pan and forms a fudgy dough.

  6. 6

    Turn off the heat, quickly transfer the hot mixture onto a parchment-lined tray, and spread evenly to about 1/2 inch thickness using a greased spatula.

  7. 7

    Let the barfi cool completely at room temperature, then cut into squares. Store in an airtight container.
