Anjeer Barfi Recipe
Anjeer Barfi is an exotic Indian delicacy made from dried figs, mava and dried fruits. I remember Baba getting this on Rakshabandhan from Tiwari sweets in Matunga. I never thought that I would be able to make it at home but it is amazingly easy to make. The best part about this recipe is that it is almost sugarless and can be stored in refrigerator and enjoyed for days and days.I made this for Rakshabandhan and everybody just loved it. Here is the recipe
