This divine mithai is also called "Besan ki Chakki" or "Mohanthal". This is usually made at weddings and on special occasions. It is a complicated mithai to make and one needs a little practice to perfect this recipe. It is traditionally made with coarsely ground besan, so that the barfi has a nice chewy texture, but since it is difficult to obtain coarsely ground besan, you can also use plain besan instead.

Hi,I tried this recipe with fine besan , so they turned out as smooth barfis. Taste is good but the roughness is missing

Divine, fab and one of the best desserts i have eaten. The softness, flavors and sweetness is just perfect. The besan melts into your mouth and there is a lingering feeling of cardamom after each bite you have and the almonds provide the ideal balance.
