Barfi

Cultural Context

Barfi, a beloved Indian sweet, traces its roots to ancient times, often prepared during festivals and celebrations. Its name derives from the Persian word 'barf', meaning snow, reflecting its soft, melt-in-the-mouth texture. Traditionally made with milk and sugar, modern variations include flavors like coconut and chocolate, making it a versatile treat enjoyed worldwide.
