Dragon fruit is a cactus based fruit which is very amazing and tasty. It has its own benefits like it helps in digestion. Also, it helps in lowering the risk of cancer and aids. It is having a taste of kiwi and pear. It is a tropical fruit and in different countries there are different colors of dragon fruits that are reproduced.
Sometimes it might be red inside the fruit and sometimes white. It depends on climate and the soil. They don’t differ in taste, everything is similar except the color. It is rich in Vitamin C and Iron. It is healthy for kids.
You can prepare a lot of things from Dragon fruit and it fits according to your choice of making recipes. So I have tried making Barfi from Dragon fruit which looks amazing and tasty to eat.
So, I am to prepare this barfi with milk powder and corn starch. Corn starch is generally used for binding. If you got the white color fruit and wants to prepare the barfi you can do it and prepare it with white color. If you want in red or another color use edible food color and add into it. You will get the fine texture.
