- To the other half on the pan, add yellow food colour dissolved in milk and mix well.
- Continue cooking in low flame for a minute till it leaves the sides of the pan and then transfer the yellow coloured mix to the greased mould.
- Gently press and make the mix even.
- Then transfer the first part of the mix back to the pan, add green colour dissolved in milk. Mix well and continue cooking till it leaves the sides of the pan.
- Switch off the gas and transfer the mix to the mould with the yellow mix and press well.
- Allow the mix to cool down completely. Refrigerate for a couple of hours.
- Use a knife to loosen the edges and unmould the barfi.
