To the melted ghee add ¾ cup of whole milk, ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and mix it together.
Keep stiring and cooking it till the sugar is completely dissolved.
Now add 2.5 cups of milk mawa powder, 3 teaspoon thandai powder, and 10-12 strands of saffron.
Stir it all together and keep cooking it. Cook it for about 8 to 12 minutes on medium-low heat till the mixture thickens and it becomes of spreadable consistency.
Do not overcook it and make the mixture too dense.
Pour the mixture into a pan or plate lined with parchment paper or greased with ghee.
Spread the mixture evenly and top it with chopped nuts and press them into the barfi mixture.
Let it cool for 20 to 3 minutes and then cut it into pieces.
Store the thandai barfi in an airtight container and it will stay good at room temperature for about a day. Refrigerate it later if you want to consume it later.
Notes
Do not overcook the mixture.
Always use full-fat milk powder and milk.
Cook on medium-low heat to avoid burning and overcooking
Let the sugar melt before adding milk mawa otherwise, you will end up with sticky barfi.
