Barfi is a sweet confectionery from the Indian subcontinent that is often served as a dessert. It is made by simmering milk and sugar until it thickens and then mixing it with ghee (clarified butter) and various flavorings such as cardamom, saffron, rose water, or nuts. The mixture is then poured into a tray or mold and left to set, before being cut into small diamond-shaped pieces.

There are many different varieties of barfi, including plain milk barfi, coconut barfi, chocolate barfi, and many more. It is a popular dessert across India and neighboring countries, and is often served at weddings, festivals, and other special occasions.
