kesar+burfi

One of Vj’s friend here always buys sweets from Shree Mithai  when he visits Chennai for us. There will be kesar burfi for sure. I love it. Not very much, still I like it. So wanted to try for so long time. And found this recipe while googling. She even has given how to make Khoya. Though the result was not as I expected, I found this recipe as a quick and easy sweet,which you can make within minutes. Still tastes rich.
What I was expecting was a grainy texture as I tasted from Shree Mithai. But this was on a smooth side,but for peda I think it will be smooth. I bought Khoya for this from Mustafa before 2 weeks, at last used it.

Notes

  • Initially after making, there was a slight bitter taste, but after hours/next day it was not there. So don’t panic like me 🙂
  • I also made palin burfis with khoya. In that, I added 2 drops of rose essence,it was also very nice.
  • You can add a tblsp of curd in first step if you want a grainy texture.

Consume within 2 days. Keep refrigerated. But serve at room temperature. You can shape to cute pedas too and arrange in liners, do it when it is still warm….  Its very very easy right?

  38. I read this recipe also and wanted to give it a try. Somewhere else it said that you keep mixing even after removing from the flour and bring the texture to smooth…now that I know for a fact you got it right, I will confidently try the same.

  88. Khoa (also khoya) is a milk food, made of either dried whole milk or milk thickened by heating in an open iron pan.. —– From web source.
    .you can find it in Indian groceries stores. Otherwise you can mix milk powder (1 cup)with evaporated milk untill you form a sticky firm dough. Freeze it for 30 minutes atleast to make Khoya. Hope this helps you.
