Great recipe. As usual I modified like I do with almost every recipe I try. I added and stirred in quite a bit of dry fruit before adding condensed milk (raisins, almonds, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds etc). Did not use sugar but added a tbs Honey to make it soft as my extra ingredients were making it too dry. Net result, amazing. Thanks for the recipe. Will be used quite often. Easy and taste to die for.

If the mixture turns lumpy, turn the flame to the lowest level and break them all before proceeding to the next step. Else the lumps will get hard and spoil the texture of the barfi. Maintain the flame at medium to ensure the mixture does not stick to the pan. Using a non-stick pan works best for this recipe.
