Milk Powder Burfi

 

I love Bombay Sweets. In Sri Lanka we have alot of Indian Shops that sells South Indian and North Indian Sweets. As i had been always Buying sweets, I decided to try a Burfi . A simple step by step Burfi recipe to start with, So i found a easy way out to make a Burfi with Milk powder rather than Goya. Goya has bit of a longer process , As i wanted to start with an instant one . I tried with the Milk Powder. I was really surprised with the results, It actually came really good. My kids loved it . I did a small batch to try it first without wasting the ingredients. To my astonishment, the plate finished in no time. I was happy with the results, the feed back from my family. So i made a video of How i make this Milk Powder Burfi. Any beginners can try this step and it will not go wrong.

All you need is Patience. While keeping the flame really low.

Jaggery - 250g Thick Coconut Milk - 300ml White Sugar - 1/4 Cup Eggs - 5 Cardamom Powder - 1/2 Tsp or 3 Cardamom Pods Crushed 6 Inch Pan to Steam Aluminium Foil to cover the pan before baking Vanilla Essence - 1 Tsp Steam 45 - 50 Minutes Medium Flame

I have taken  250g of Jagger ( Kithul Jaggery) Go for the Dark brown Jaggery 

rather than the light ones. Chop it in Small pieces

Transfer it to a Pan to melt the jaggery

Place the pan in the stove. Keep Flame low

Add 3 Tbsp of water and let the jaggery melt

Jaggery melted

If you cut the jaggery or grate it in small pieces 

the melting of jaggery syrup becomes more easy

Once the Jaggery syrup is ready

Strain it to another bowl

Add 1/4 Cup of Sugar

Beat with a fork or whisker for about 1 minute

Add 300ml thick coconut milk

You can buy thick coconut milk in store

or blend of half grated coconut and strain the coconut milk

Whisk it well for about 2 minutes

Keep it aside

Now add 5 Eggs

Add 1 Tsp of Vanilla Essence

This is to remove the Raw egg smell

Whisk it 

After whisking it well

Strain it to the Jaggery syrup 

Strain it well

Now Stir / Whisk 

Finally Add 1/2 Tsp Cardamom Powder

Or Crush 3 Cardamom pods and add it to the mixture

Mix all

I have taken 6 inch Pan

Grease it well with butter

Now add the mixture to it

and cover it with Alminium Foil

To steam. I have used Idli Steamer

Added some water

place a stand inside

You can also steam it in Rice cooker

Place the Covered Pan inside the idli steamer

Place a small plate on top of the covered pan tray

This is to collect the steam water on the plate

if not the steam water will fall on the alminium foil

Now close with the Lid

Steam it for 45 minutes

in medium flame

Taking it out after 45 minutes

Looks great. Perfectly cooked

You can check if its cooked with the help of a tooth pick

the tooth pick should come out clean

Decorate with Cashew nuts

Leave it to completely cool for about 2 to 3 hours
