Ingredients

  • Semolina / sooji rava - 1 cup
  • Ghee - 1 cup
  • Grated coconut - 1 cup
  • Milk - 1 cup
  • Sugar - 2 1/2 cup

Directions

  1. Take a heavy bottom pan and pour ghee and semolina into it.

  2. Roast the semolina for 4 – 5 minutes and add milk, sugar and grated coconut.

  3. Keep stirring continuously on medium flame to avoid sticking to the bottom.

  4. Keep a wide plate ready, greased with ghee to pour the Burfi mixture.

  5. After stirring for sometime on medium flame, water content in the burfi mixture will start decreasing and it starts forming a kind of dough, without sticking to the bottom. Once you reach this stage, you can confirm yourself that 3/4th of your work is done!

  6. Within few minutes, mixture starts puffing up little-bit and small bubbles will appear.

  7. Switch off the flame immediately and pour the mixture onto the greased plate.

  8. Spread the mixture evenly using a rolling pin. Allow it to cool for few minutes.

  9. Cut it into desired shapes when it is still warm. Transfer the Burfi into an airtight container once it is cool.

  10. This Burfi tastes very good with the nice aroma of ghee

  11. Tips:

  12. If the burfi mixture has stuck to the bottom, pour the mixture to another pan and continue the process. Else, it will spoil the whole burfi mixture.
  13. Use only fresh ghee without any bad smell for this burfi.
  14. Adding a few strands of saffron will make this burfi more tasty.
