This Doda Barfi recipe has a twist. It is combined with Treacle Tart and Vanilla Bean Ice Cream
Doda Barfi originates from the beautiful land of Punjab, India, where the winters can get chilly. The sweet is typically made as a treat during the cold days, as its goodness is said to cheer you up and leave you feeling content and happy. The Doda Barfi is said to have been first prepared by a wrestler, Harbans Vig. Apparently, he stumbled on this recipe after trying to look for a recipe that was healthy and tasty. Well, isn’t that wonderful?
Doda Barfi is typically made with milk, cream, and lots of ghee (clarified butter). Like many Indian sweets, the Barfi is made during festivals and other celebrations. You can make a batch of these sweets and store it at room temperature for about 2 weeks. If refrigerated, you can save it even for three months.
Now, what do you get when you combine Dodha barfi with a traditional British dessert Treacle Tart, and a Vanilla Bean Ice-cream? Well, that is exactly what chef Manish Mehrotra has come up with, and has also shared with us! It is indeed a super dessert and one that deserves huge applause.
