Ingredients
- Semolina / sooji rava - 1 cup
- Ghee - 1 cup
- Grated coconut - 1 cup
- Milk - 1 cup
- Sugar - 2 1/2 cup
Directions
-
Take a heavy bottom pan and pour ghee and semolina into it.
-
Roast the semolina for 4 – 5 minutes and add milk, sugar and grated coconut.
-
Keep stirring continuously on medium flame to avoid sticking to the bottom.
-
Keep a wide plate ready, greased with ghee to pour the Burfi mixture.
-
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!
-
Within few minutes, mixture starts puffing up little-bit and small bubbles will appear.
-
Switch off the flame immediately and pour the mixture onto the greased plate.
-
Spread the mixture evenly using a rolling pin. Allow it to cool for few minutes.
-
Cut it into desired shapes when it is still warm. Transfer the Burfi into an airtight container once it is cool.
-
This Burfi tastes very good with the nice aroma of ghee
-
Tips:
- 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.
- Use only fresh ghee without any bad smell for this burfi.
- Adding a few strands of saffron will make this burfi more tasty.
