Recipe

Instructions:
1) Making the Crumbled Barfi:
   - In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of wheat flour with 4 tbsp of oil. Mix well until the flour resembles coarse crumbs.
   - Shape the mixture into small balls and flatten them slightly, creating a thumbprint in the center.
   - Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and fry the flattened balls until golden brown and cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes. Ensure even cooking by stirring occasionally.
   - Once cooked, remove from the oil and drain excess oil on a paper towel.
   - Break them into small pieces and grind them upon reaching room temperature to prevent moisture.
   - Filter them using a sieve for the same texture.
   - Remove bigger particles and add half cup of ghee. Mix well.

2) Preparing the Sugar Syrup:
   - In a separate saucepan, combine 1 to 1 ½ cups of sugar with 1 cup of water. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely.
   - Add cardamom powder, nutmeg powder, and saffron (optional) to the sugar syrup and mix well.

3) Mixing the Ingredients:
   - Once the sugar syrup reaches a one-string consistency, add the fried wheat balls (crumbled barfi) to the syrup.
   - Stir gently to coat the wheat balls evenly with the syrup mixture.
   - Optional: Add chopped nuts like almonds or pistachios for added texture and flavor.

4) Shaping and Garnishing:
   - Transfer the coated mixture to a mold or tray lined with parchment paper.
   - Press the mixture evenly into the mold or tray to ensure it sets properly.
   - Garnish the top with chopped pistachios or almonds for a decorative touch.

5) Serving:
   - Allow the crumbled barfi to cool and set completely before cutting into pieces of desired size and shape.
   - Serve on a plate and enjoy this traditional Indian sweet with friends and family.

Tips:
- Fry the wheat balls until they turn golden brown for the perfect texture.
- Keep stirring the sugar syrup to prevent burning and ensure a smooth consistency.
- Customize the recipe by adding your favorite nuts or flavorings to the mixture.
- Allow the barfi to set completely before cutting to ensure neat slices.
