Roasting the chana dal mixture well gives the barfi and awesome aroma, while using hot milk reduces the amount of ghee required.

Instructions to make Chana dal barfi(Vegan version):
  1. Clean and soak chana dal for about 4 hours or overnight.

  4. Drain the soaked dal and place in a pressure cooker with 2 cups of coconut milk.
  5. Pressure cook the dal for 2-3 whistles or until dal becomes very soft.
  6. Let the mixture cools a bit and then grind to a smooth paste.
  7. Heat 1/4th cup of vanaspati ghee in a heavy bottomed saucepan. You can also use coconut oil instead of vanaspati. I use vanaspati as it has the flavour close to desi ghee.
  8. Add in the lentil/chana dal paste and start frying in medium heat by stirring regularly.
  9. When the mixture becomes hot enough after cooking 6-8 minutes, add in 3/4th cup of sugar.
  10. Continue to cook for about 30 minutes or until the mixture start leaving from the pan. Keep flame in medium low heat during frying process to get better flavour and texture.

  14. Transfer the mixture (hot) to the greased mould.
  15. Spread uniformly with a spatula and sprinkle some crushed nuts.
  16. Keep aside to cool down completely and then cut in your desired size. I served them in some cup cake liners.
  17. They are as tasty and flavourful as the traditional chana dal barfi or fudge. I garnished with some dry rose Patel's which is completely optional.
  18. Enjoy!
