The key to making perfect peanut cashew barfi at home are
- Firstly, Peanut and sugar proportion should be 2:1, which means sugar should be half that of peanut powder.
- I add some milk powder to give a rich flavor to the barfi. You can add cashew powder or any dry fruit powder instead of it.
- Sugar syrup should have one string consistency for burfi. Also, cool down the cooked sugar syrup slightly before adding the peanut powder mixed into it.
- When the barfi mixture leaves the sides of the pan then switch off the flame, do not overcook the mixture otherwise barfi will become hard.
- I made a chocolate layer with cream chocolate biscuit powder and milk. You can use any chocolate biscuit for this layer.
- lastly, store this barfi in an airtight for longer shelf life up to 1 week at room temperature and 15 days in the refrigerator.
