Instructions
Heat ghee in a pan and let it melt. Once the ghee melts, switch off the flame, add milk, and mix.
Now gradually add milk powder and keep stirring and mixing. Break the lumps if you notice any.
Once the mixture is smooth, switch on the flame. Keep stirring. Adjust the flame between low and medium.
Once you notice that the mixture has started to form a lump, switch off the flame and add sugar. Taste and add sugar as per your taste.
Now again switch on the gas on low heat, keep stirring and cook till the mixture thickens and leaves the sides of the pan. Do not cook for long, after adding sugar cook for a few more minutes.
Now switch off the flame and divide the mixture equally.
Grease a tin or plate with ghee. Place parchment paper on it. Cut a little extra parchment paper in such a manner that you can easily lift it. Pour the vanilla (white) layer and flatten it with a spatula or the back of a spoon to level. Grease the spoon/spatula with ghee so the mixture doesn’t stick to it. Let it set.
In another portion, add 2 teaspoon cocoa powder, ¼ teaspoon ghee, and ¼ teaspoon milk, and mix well. The chocolate layer is ready. If you feel the mixture is a bit dry, you can add a little more milk.
On top of the white layer, spread the chocolate mixture. Level in the same manner. Let this set.
For the third (top) layer, melt milk and white chocolates separately. Take a microwave-safe bowl and combine white chocolate and ½ teaspoon of unsalted butter. Microwave for 20-30 seconds till it melts completely. Mix. For the milk chocolate, add ¼ teaspoon unsalted butter and microwave for 20-30 seconds till it melts.
Now using a spoon, pour both the chocolates randomly on the barfi. With a toothpick or skewer, give a marble or swirl effect. Set in refrigerator.
Once set, lift the parchment paper to remove the barfi from mould, remove the parchment paper and cut it into pieces and serve.
Store this barfi in an air-tight container in the refrigerator.

Notes
First mix ghee, milk, and milk powder into a smooth lump-free mixture, and then switch on the flame. We switched on the flame initially just to melt the ghee. Once everything is combined well, you can again switch on the flame and start cooking.
If you feel the heat is high, in-between you can switch off the flame and keep mixing. Keep adjusting the flame between low and medium.
Keep stirring continuously throughout the process.
You can adjust the proportion of sugar in this recipe.
After taking off from heat, if you feel the mixture is sticky and you are not able to level it, then again heat and cook the mixture for a few more minutes.
We melted the chocolates in the microwave. You can also use any one kind of chocolate, but since we want to create a marble effect we have used 2 varieties.
