1-1/4 cups groundnut (peanuts) 
1-1/2 cups powdered (icing) sugar 
1 tablespoon milk
a few cherries

Heat a fry pan/karai without any ghee and roast the nuts. Cool and peel the skin off the roasted nuts. Grind them to powder in a mixer. Heat a nonstick pan. Put the powdered nut and mix powdered sugar into it. Stir for 2-3 minutes. Mix milk into it. Stir well to blend the mixture to a sticky consistency. Grease a plate. Pour the mixture in it. Make smooth and level. When cooled, cut with sharp knife in square or diamond shapes. Cut the cherries in thin pieces and decorate the barfies by pressing one or two pieces of cherry in each barfy, and offer!
