Pista barfi has a mild nutty flavour and attractive colour, both of which make it very tempting. This barfi is mildly flavoured with cardamom, and tastes good as such, but if you wish for a more elaborate presentation, you could choose to sandwich two varieties of barfi, garnish with roasted nuts and saffron, or come up with your own splendid ideas!

Is the cup of pistachios with or without the shells. If I’m using already shelled pistachios should it be half a cup instead of a cup?

Hi Is it a good idea to replace white sugar with brown sugar? Also, How long does it stay good at room temperature? Shall I refrigerate it to store for a longer time?
