Ingredients

  • 1 cup besan flour
  • 3 cups sugar
  • 1 cup ghee melted
  • 1 cup coconut or carrot
  • 1 cup milk

In whichever cup you are measuring use the same cup for all measures. I used my 1/3 cup for all the measures mentioned above.

    Instructions

    • First choose a cup for measuring all the ingredients. I used my 1/3 cup. In a pan add besan flour and roast until aroma comes slightly, do not let it to change colour. Switch off.
    • Trim the edges of the carrot, peel off the skin then grate the carrots. Measure and add it to the pan.
    • Add sugar then add milk. Finally add ghee.
    • Now whisk it well for even mixing, make sure there are no lumps formed. Now heat it up, first it will bubble up.
    • It bubbles up nicely then forms a frothy layers at the edges.
    • When you mix you can feel its getting thicker.Keep cooking.
    • Then it will easily leave the sides of the pan with a porous texture(poru poru as we call it in tamil) as seen in the last tiled pic in this step.
    • Immediately transfer the mixture to a greased tin.When it is still warm, mark with a greased knife then carefully remove the pieces. 7 Cup Burfi Ready!

    Notes

    • You can decrease sugar to 2.5 cups and increase ghee to 1.5 cups.
    • The consistency is very important else it will turn into halwa.
    • You can either use carrot or coconut or use half cup each.
    • If you prefer add ghee roasted cashews.
    • I don't add cardamom powder if you like you can add.
    • Usually the texture of this burfi should not be smooth, it should be slightly porous. The porous texture depends on how much you roast the besan flour initially.
    • If you are doubtful on the consistency check at the final stage then take a drop and put in a plate and see, in few seconds if it hardens then that's the right stage but be quick else you will not be able to pour and set it.
