Ingredients

  • Gram flour- 1/2 cup
  • Grated carrot- 1/2 cup
  • Milk- 1/2 cup
  • Sugar- 1 cup
  • Ghee clarified butter- 3/4 cup

Instructions

Method

  • Take sieved gram flour in a pan, with constant stirring roast it in medium flame. The raw smell of the flour subsides and you will notice aroma wafting out. Switch off the flame and transfer it.
  • Again heat the same pan adding grated carrot. Stir constantly till the rawness disappears from the carrot. Switch off and remove it in a bowl.
  • Next in a heavy bottom wok or pan add sugar followed by milk. Whisk for a while.
  • Next add half of the reserved ghee to the same pan and whisk until sugar dissolves. This may take few minutes
  • Include roasted gram flour and carrot to this mixture and combine everything well. Ensure the flour hasn't formed any lumps. Now the mixture is ready to cook.
  • In medium flame cook this mixture while stirring it regularly. Add some ghee when you find the mixture thickening.
  • Continue stirring the burfi mixture for about 15 minutes. Use up all the ghee as you stir and at some point you would notice porous texture and non-sticky-ness of the burfi mixture. Switch off the flame and transfer over ghee greased tray.
  • Level it up using a spatula and when it is still warm mark the pieces. Separate them when it cools down.
  • Very quick and easy sweet 7 cups burfi is ready to serve.

Notes

  • As I have used carrot, the burfi has turned towards darker shade. You can replace it by grated coconut too and the color remains light.
  • Mixing of sugar with milk and other ingredients should be done off the stove. When sugar completely gets dissolved, you can heat it up for cooking.
  • I have minimized the usage of ghee to 3/4 cup. If you prefer, you can raise it up to 1 cup.
  • The final stage to switch off the stove is very important. Do not miss the consistency. Otherwise burfi can turn to halwa.
