I had this recipe in a cook book, but the ghee quantity given made me keep thinking for past 2 years.
This year, decided to try with less ghee with the confidence given by co sis. Until we tasted the burfi, kept fingers crossed how it turned out. But it was awesome.
The color from carrot is really pleasant to eyes. It tastes similar to coconut burfi and the method also the same as I have posted earlier in coconut burfi post.
You can try this simple burfi for this Diwali. Check out my other burfi recipes in my website.

- Let the whole process be in medium flame. Otherwise you may easily miss the right consistency.

Hi raks,
I tried making carrot burfi today. It turned out pretty well. I have transferred it to a greased tray and found that I have added more ghee. Will it set together and become thick with time?
Raks anand
Drain the excess ghee. I think it will set.

Hey can we make this without coconut...
Raks anand
I have not tried. Chances are there to get chewy.
