In a non-stick pan, heat 2 tbsp ghee over medium heat. Add milk and bring it to a boil.

Gradually add the milk powder and powdered sugar, stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Cook on low-medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture starts to come together and pulls away from the sides of the pan.

Once the mixture has thickened, transfer it to a bowl. Allow it to cool slightly but not completely—just enough for it to hold its shape when rolling. Use a rolling pin to gently roll the mixture into an even layer about 1/2 inch thick. Let it cool completely.

In a bowl, add milk powder, powdered sugar, and cocoa powder. Mix well.

In a non-stick pan, heat 2 tbsp ghee over medium heat. Add milk and bring it to a boil. Gradually add the cocoa powder mixture to the pan, mixing well to avoid lumps until you reach a consistency that is thick but spreadable.

Stir the mixture continuously on low heat until it thickens and starts to come away from the sides of the pan.

You can add vanilla extract for extra flavor (optional).

Let the chocolate mixture cool slightly (not too hard). Once it's cool enough to handle, transfer it to a surface lightly greased with ghee or parchment paper. Roll it out with a rolling pin to about the same thickness as the first layer (roughly 1/2 inch thick).

Once both layers are rolled out, carefully place the chocolate layer over the milk powder layer. Sprinkle some chopped nuts (like pistachios or almonds) and rose petals. Gently press both layers together using the rolling pin to ensure they stick together without any gaps.

Allow the combined layers to cool completely at room temperature. You can refrigerate it for quicker setting.

Once both layers are fully set, cut the barfi into squares or diamond shapes.
