Just to get started...

This was my weekend experiment and was well appreciated :) .     First take the ingredients, ideally to make barfi you should take equal amount (2 cups) of besan, ghee, sugar and half amount of water.     But here we have to make halwa-barfi:), so take equal amount of besan, oil (and not ghee!), sugar and equal amount of water instead of half amount of water. Now start by assuming that you are going to prepare besan ki barfi :). First start frying besan in ghee on low flame for about 20 mins till it becomes pink and ghee(err..., oil:)) separates. Now do some multitasking, mix sugar and water to make sugar syrup in parallel of frying besan, this will save your very precious time. When the oil seperates, mix syrup to besan and mix well and pour this mixture into a greased tray and flatten.     Now start waiting for this mixture to cool down and become the sweet barfi. You may have to wait for the whole night so that it becomes thick enough ...

How good (or bad??) reader I have been, you can decide it from my writing abilities in that article :) . I am posting the article which I mentioned, in its original content and wordings below. May be you can get something useful from it too... . The article goes below:-     "It feels great to be a part of our office E - magazine. My main expectation from the E -magazine is that it should be interesting as well as informative for all. This cannot be achieved unless there is consist...
