Best Easy Dry Fruit Barfi Recipe

Roughly chop all the dry fruits—cashew nuts, almonds, pistachios, and walnuts—for even blending and texture.

In a food processor, pulse the chopped dry fruits and dates together until a coarse, slightly sticky mixture forms—do not over-process.

In a thick-bottomed nonstick pan, heat 2 tbsp ghee over medium-low heat; add the dry fruit mixture and sauté for 4–5 minutes, stirring continuously to prevent sticking.

Add sugar and cardamom powder to the pan, reduce heat to low, and cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring until the mixture thickens and leaves the sides of the pan.

Quickly transfer the hot mixture onto a parchment-lined tray, spread evenly to about 3/4-inch thickness, and smooth the surface with a spatula; let it cool completely before cutting into squares or diamonds.
