Jaya - I remember eating this chocolate barfi you made. :-) Btw, what does "two string consistency" mean? It would be good to explain that for the benefit of people like me. :-)

Two string consistency means the thickness of the sugar solution(chakara paagu).dissolve the sugar in water keep stirring for about ten min then when you test the paagu with your thumb and forefinger it should form a string twice.I hope this is clear.
