Procedure
Step 1 : In your pan (on lowest heat), add your condensed milk, clarified butter (ghee) and milk powder. Mix well using a wooden or silicon spatula and once combined, add your milk .

Step 5: Turn off your heat. Add your cardamom powder and do a final vigorous mix . Your barfi dough is ready !
Step 6: Line your loaf pan with parchment paper and transfer your barfi dough to the pan while ensuring to press firmly using your spatula. Place in the refrigerator to cool for 15-20 minutes .
Step 7: After 15-20 minutes in the refrigerator, take your barfi out and cut your 'loaf' into slices of 1 cm thickness
Step 8: Melt your compound chocolate in your microwave (interval of 30 seconds until fully melted ).
Step 9: Immerse about one third (1/3) of each barfi slice in the melted chocolate !
Step 10: Decorate with some peanuts and allow the chocolate to harden at room temperature. Repeat with the remaining barfi slices ...
Step 11: Voila !.... Super easy and made with love !
You may serve your peanut barfi on your favourite serving plate equipped with battery operated lights for that 'Wow' effect ... I got these adorable plates in different sizes at Manjoo Bagatelle. I got the battery operated lights at 0.78 usd on Ebay
Use sticky tape to position your lights around your serving plate (hide the part of the wire which does not contain the leds together with the switchtogether with the switch at the base of your serving plate )
Hmmmmmmmmmm !
