Happy RakshaBandhan.....7 Cups Burfi

 

Happy RakshaBandhan

 

I wanted to post something special for this special festival and want it to be done in less time too.Suddenly I remembered a burfi which my mom used to make whenever we pester her for sweets...

 

As the name says ..It is 3 Cups of sugar and 1 cup of four items mixed and made to a burfi...So totally 7 cups and hence the name 7 cups..

It is very easy to make and doesn't need much of expertise..

For the recipe please press READ MORE below..





INGREDIENTS:

3 Cups of Sugar
1 Cup of Ghee/Clarified butter
1 Cup of milk(Boiled n cooled)
1 Cup of shredded coconut/Dry coconut flakes
1 Cup of Besan/Kadalai maavu/Maida

PROCEDURE:

Keep all the ingredients ready.If u are using Maida instead of besan then roast it in a pan by adding a tsp of ghee and then use it.

Take a heavy bottomed pan and add all the ingredients.

Then mix them without any lumps.

 

 

Grease the tray (into which u are going to cut the burfi ) with ghee.Keep it aside.

Heat the heavy bottomed pan in which we had mixed the ingredients.

Keep stirring for some time.

After some time u can note that the sugar had dissolved completely.

 

 

Keep stirring for some more time.After some time u can note bubbles being formed.

After few minutes when u stir u can note the mixture tends to solidify at the edges when we try to stir the mixture.This is the stage which we need to make a soft burfi.If u need little crunchy then take the mixture from the flame after some time.

 

 

 

Pour the mixture to the greased tray(Take a square/rectangular tray preferably to get equal sized burfis).

After few minutes when the mixture is semi hot cut it into pieces using a greased knife(Grease the knife with ghee before u cut the mixture)

It took half an hour for me to make this burfi.

 

 

 

HANDY TIPS:

 

• When u add maida instead of Besan then roast it in a pan with a tsp of ghee and then use it.
• Instead of milk coconut milk can also be used.
• Instead of fresh shredded coconut u can use koprai thengai(dry coconut flakes) too.
• Instead of coconut u can use almond powder/cashew powder/Sweetless Koya.
• U can add cardamom powder,pista flakes too to add some more flavour.
• Mine was little soft like the ghee mysorepa.If u want it little hard then stir it for some more time on flame.
• Level the mixture after u pour it on the tray.Level it with a greased knife(grease the knife with ghee).Levelling will give a smooth texture on all sides of the burfi.
