In the heart of every Indian kitchen, the aroma of roasted besan (gram flour) brings back the warmth of family gatherings and festive moments. My grandmother would prepare besan burfi during the festival season, and the whole house would be filled with its nutty fragrance. To her recipe, I added pista, for a richer flavour and a hint of royal green. With each bite of this melt-in-the-mouth barfi, I relive a part of my childhood.
