Delhi man makes barfi made of Parle-G fried in desi ghee, divides netizens

After Mirinda gol gappa and Oreo pakodas, it is now time to welcome a somewhat less confusing - Parle-G barfi. The video of its making has lately gone viral on Instagram where the man who prepares these barfis, even goes to the extent of frying this biscuit that has been one of India’s most-loved staples for years.

The video has been shared on Instagram by a Delhi-based food blogger named Karan Singhal. The video opens to show the recipe to make Parle-G barfi with some of the biscuits, desi ghee to fry them in, sugar and milk to create the base and dry fruits to garnish.

After frying the biscuits in desi ghee and grinding them, a halwa-like mixture is made from the Parle-G biscuits with the help of milk and a lot of sugar. “Desi Ghee mein fried Parle -G ki barfi,” reads the caption accompanying this cooking video.
