- Garnish with chopped pistachios and almonds. Cut into desired shape when the mixture is still warm and enjoy the 7 cups burfi......1 Cup Dry Fruits (optional)
Notes
Keep stirring the mixture continuously on low medium flame to avoid burning the mixture at the bottom of pan.
Cashewnut powder, almond powder, and dry fruits are optional. I have used them to enhance the taste.
Sieve gram flour before using in this recipe.
Take a bit of mixture in spoon, allow it cool down and check the consistency. It should be somewhere between slightly chewy and fudge like. If it is too chewy then it needs to cook more.
Always cook on medium flame to get perfect texture. Do not change the heat settings.
Cut the burfi while it is still warm, if it cools down completely the pieces will break.
Burfi keeps setting as it cools, do not worry if you still feel slightly chewy at the edges, it will set in an hour or so.
You may substitute desiccated coconut with freshly grated coconut.
You may dry roast besan on low flame until aromatic and follow the rest of the instructions as mentioned above.
