Besan ki barfi is made with besan (gram flour), condensed milk and sugar. The sugar blends into a creamy texture that comes from the basic mixture, khoya, a traditional Pakistani and Indian dairy confection made from thickened whole milk. The mix is generally heated until the milk solidifies and is then placed in molds of different shapes--diamond, square or sometimes round.

Besan ki barfi is a very common sweet in North India and Pakistan, especially during winter. It is usually garnished with sliced or chopped almonds or pistachios. Because it visually looks like an orange-colored cheese, it is sometimes called "Indian cheesecake", though it isn't made from cheese. Newer "fusion cuisine" variations include flavorings of apricot, mango and coconut
