About Barfi
Barfi is a dense fudge of khoya (reduced milk) and sugar, sometimes with pistachio, coconut or besan. Each small square is about 120 kcal — a lot for its size, because it is concentrated milk fat and sugar.
Tip: Mithai boxes are measured in pieces; one piece is a treat, four is a dessert, eight is a problem.
