Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup millet flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 teaspoon cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoon ghee + extra for greasing
  • 1 tablespoon pistachios chopped finely

Instructions

  • Heat ghee in a kadai - add millet flour to it.
  • Roast in low flame for 5 mins, transfer to a plate and cool down then add coco powder to it.
  • Mix well or sieve it well, set aside.
  • In the same pan add sugar. I used brown sugar here. Add water to it let it boil in medium flame.
  • When it starts to thicken and bubble up well, check for single thread consistency. When a thin string consistency is reached immediately add the flour cocoa mixture.
  • Mix well , act quickly keep stirring to avoid lumps. In 2 mins the batter will become thick, add ghee at this stage. The mixture will be thickish like idli batter consistency.
  • Mix well and switch off. Immediately transfer to ghee greased tray.
  • Sprinkle chopped nuts on it. Slightly press it. Leave it to set for 10 mins then mark pieces with a knife then carefully separate the pieces and store. Of course few to enjoy instantly then store :)
  • Millet Burfi keeps well in room temperature itself for about a week.

Notes

  • If you miss the consistency then it may turn our hard.
  • If you add the flour before the single thread consistency then it will be like chewy halwa so keep a close  eye on the consistency.
  • You can sprinkle any nuts of your choice.
  • You can use white sugar if you wish to. I haven't tried with cane sugar so not sure about the result.
