Make potato barfi like this

First of all, boil the potatoes and cool them completely. After this, peel them and mash them well. Take care that there are no lumps left in the potatoes, otherwise the texture of the barfi will not be good.

Now heat desi ghee in the pan and add mashed potatoes in it. Fry the potatoes for some time while stirring continuously on low flame. This will reduce the moisture in the potatoes and the taste of the barfi will also improve.

After this add sugar and grated coconut and mix well. Cook the mixture on low flame while stirring continuously. When the mixture starts thickening and leaving the sides of the pan, understand that it is almost ready.

Now turn off the gas and add cardamom powder to it and mix well. Apply some ghee in a plate or tray and spread the prepared mixture evenly. Add finely chopped almonds and pistachios on top and press lightly.

Let the mixture cool completely at room temperature. After this cut it into desired shape. Increase the sweetness of the festival by feeding prepared potato barfi to your brother on the day of Rakshabandhan.

Keep these things in mind to make barfi soft

It is very important to mash the potatoes well. Always cook the mixture on low flame and keep stirring continuously. This will prevent the potatoes from sticking to the pan and the texture of the barfi will also remain better. Before cutting the barfi, it is important to cool it thoroughly, only then the pieces will be formed easily.
