How To Make Milk Powder Barfi

Milk and Coconut Fudge-A Quick and easy Milk powder barfi Recipe

The Festival season is already started and everyone is busy with cleaning and furnishing the house and then the menu planning for Diwali will start soon .Though there are so many amazing varieties of sweets and snacks available in the market but as a tradition and custom we love to cook few items at home.

I always start with savoury and snacks first as they have  a long shelf life. The first item is always Mathri ,either the crisp Punjabi mathri or the beautiful and crisp Khasta Khaja Mathri, then Chivda Namkeen is always made as it is my favorite one and quite easy to make too. there is a long list of sweets to choose from – Gulab Jamun,  Kalakand Recipe,  Badam Mysore Pak or depend on the time and family demand.

This Milk Powder Barfi is a quick and easy recipe which you can make very easily, addition of coconut is optional you can add or skip it.
