Assalamu Alaikum Everyone. I hope everyone is well by the grace of Allah, I am also well Alhamdulillah. Today I have come to participate in the first week of the steemit challenge SLC27-W1 // "Desserts From Grain" organized by the honorable teacher @suboohi madam. I am happy to participate in this wonderful challenge.

Yes, I think sweets are important on special occasions because they symbolize joy, celebration and good wishes. Which highlights the social and cultural heritage and creates a festive atmosphere.
In many cultures, especially in Bengali culture, sweets are distributed on festivals and auspicious occasions, which symbolize joy and prosperity. Any dessert brings joy to the mouth and satisfies the mind, which makes the special occasion more enjoyable. Sharing sweets strengthens social ties and is a means of sharing joy. Sweets are considered a beautiful gift, which brings joy to loved ones and expresses love for them. Also, serving sweets on various occasions creates a festive atmosphere and increases joy.

First, I will take a measure of gram flour in a clean container and add 3 tablespoons of oil to it, then rub my hands together well and mix both the ingredients. Mix in such a way that the texture of the gram flour changes from powder to grainy. We will need this texture to make the perfect sweet. Now add 2-3 teaspoons of milk to it and mix well again.

Now strain the gram flour using a strainer and take it in another clean container.

Now put a pan on the stove and add the strained gram flour in it and fry it well. Fry it till the gram flour turns yellow to golden in colour, the gram flour will be fried in about 4-5 minutes. Then remove it from the stove.

Now I will make the sugar syrup. To make the gram flour syrup, first put a pan on the stove and add 2 cups of sugar and 1 cup of water. Then add 3 cardamoms and a little food colouring to it and keep stirring continuously. To get perfect results, the consistency should be maintained, it will be ready in 5-6 minutes. After 5-6 minutes I took some syrup on my finger and tested whether it was sticky and a thread was formed between the two fingers. If a thread was formed between the two fingers then it was ready.

Now I poured the sugar syrup into the fried gram flour and added the remaining oil and cooked it well while mixing it continuously. After about 4-5 minutes it started to thicken and our sweet was ready.

Now I poured the entire mixture into the container in which I would make the dessert. Within a few minutes of pouring the mixture into the container, it solidified, then I added some nuts on top of it for decoration so that the gram flour barfi looked more attractive.

Now I cut the gram flour barfi as per my heart's desire and served it. & I added a note with my name on it.

Then I took a selfie with the gram flour barfi I had made.

The prices of the ingredients I bought to make the Besan Barfi recipe are listed below in my local currency and in Steem:
