Barfi

Trinidadian barfi is usually made from powdered milk rather than slowly reduced fresh milk, which gives it a lighter, crumblier texture than many Indian versions.
Powdered milk is cooked with sugar syrup and ghee, flavored with cardamom, and pressed into a slab cut into squares or diamonds, sold by the piece at sweet counters.
Why it's made this way: Chaguanas, the heart of Indo-Trinidadian commerce, is home to many sweet shops that keep barfi and other mithai on the counter year-round.
