What exactly is Barfi?


Barfi (pronounced ber-fee) is an Indian sweet made from sugar and milk, with a soft fudge like consistency available in many different flavours. Traditional flavours include coconut, pistachio and almond.


In India Barfi is offered as a sweet to welcome guests into the home, served as a canapé or as an after dinner sweet along side masala tea or coffee.


Why is Barfibox Barfi different?
Traditional Indian sweets lost their popularity in the U.K. as consumers opted for a less oily oily and more chocolately dessert or gift. We took up the challenge to fuse the old with the new and reinvent the Indian Sweet! After trying over 30 different variations from our Mother's recipe we modernised our Barfi by using high quality milk powder, fresh cream and one of the highest grades of Belgian chocolate and introduced some fresh flavours including strawberry, orange and vanilla. The result was an Indian sweet for which appeals to the younger generation and of course the young at heart!
