So there was this Indian sweet....but I don't know what it's called. Please help?

Question

My friend brought over some sweets from a shop, along with jalebis. But there was these squares that had metallic covering (at first, I thought it actually was metal, but it turned out to be sweet). I think they were like the skins of coke balls? Anyways, if you know the name of the sweet, please tell me!

BARFI!!!!! sooo yummy

Answer 2

It could be either barfi or kaji katri, but I would go with kaju katri as seen below:

With that said, OMG WANT SOME NOW.

Answer 3

Often some Indian sweets will use either edible gold or silver foil, Jelabi are sweet lentil and rice flour pastrys, fried in oil, then while still hot are dipped into a sweet sugar syrup, sometimes with rosewater, and the jelabi can be bright orange, a pale yellow and I saw ones in Singapore that were green, they had pandan extract in them.

Reading the other responces and they are maybe right either Bulfi or Ladoo both are sweets made simliar to american fdge but with added ingredients and are not as sweet, they use nuts, fruits and sesame seeds in them.
