Holi

Coconut barfi

No Diwali celebration is complete without platefuls of barfi, besan laddoo and halwa – and homemade sweets are the best. One of the most commonly made barfi recipe during festivals like Holi, Diwali, Navratri is this coconut barfi. Barfi, borfi or burfi is a dense milk based sweet confectionery from the Indian subcontinent, a type of mithai served all at times.

This Thermomix version is so easy to do and takes all the hard work away with the continued stirring and heating functions.

Thermomix Thandai

Thandai

Indian thandai, literally translated as ‘something that cools’, is a sweet, creamy milk drink flavoured with nuts and mixed with spices such as cardamom, fennel, rose petals, and poppy seeds.

On Holi, the Indian festival of colours, the refreshment is traditionally served with the addition of bhaang (a derivative of marijuana). Here I’ve substituted gin instead, which accentuates the nutty, warmly-spiced, floral flavours in thandai perfectly. Welcome your guests to aroma of this traditional blend. You can make it before, store and serve whenever.
