Milk Barfi (Khoya Barfi)
खोया बर्फी · ఖోయా బర్ఫీ
Dense fudge made from reduced milk solids (khoya) and sugar. High GI from sugar, slightly lower due to milk protein and fat.
Nutrition per Serving
Sugars shown are total sugars (naturally occurring + added) per serving and are approximate. For fruits and dairy this is mostly natural sugar; for sweets and many cooked dishes it reflects added sugar or jaggery.
Tips to Manage Blood Sugar
Milk protein and fat soften the spike somewhat — still keep portions small.
