Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup heavy cream or whipping cream
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup dry milk powder
  • ½ cup coconut powder
  • ½ cup grounded walnut
  • ¼ teaspoon cardamom powder

Instructions
 

  • Grease an 8-inch round or square plate and set aside.
  • Boil the heavy cream on medium-high heat.
  • After milk comes to a boil, turn the heat down to low-medium heat.
  • Add the sugar and Stir so sugar is dissolve.
  • Let it simmer six to seven minutes making sure to stir frequently. The milk syrup should heat until 230 degrees on candy thermometer or one thread.
  • Add the milk powder and mix well. Stir for about two to three minutes on medium heat or until the mixture should start leaving the pan.
  • Turn off the heat and add cardamom powder, coconut powder and ground walnut and mix well.
  • Spread on a greased plate about 1/2 inch thick and let it cool for about an hour. Cut the burfis in square or diamond shapes, or any desired shape.

Notes

If sugar syrup heats to above 230 degrees, the burfi will be dry. If the syrup is not thick enough, the burfi will take longer to cook with dry milk powder, making the burfi chewy like taffy.

  14. Archana Jadhav

    Hello Aunty,

    I am staying @ INDIA. I like the way you make fresh & hygienic homemade “khoya”, because personally i don’t like to buy outside khoya.

    Today, I am planning to do “coconut Laddoo”, for this recipes can I use “fresh coconut “?

    For Laddoo , I am planning to use your homemade “Khoya & in that I’ll use fresh grated coconut, little bit milk, cardimum powder, sugar & I’ll cook until it will become laddoo” so my laddoo become soft & creamy?

    Give me your reply as soon as possible, because today i am going to make this laddoo.

    Thank You

    1. Manjula Jain

      Archana,
      Sounds good freshly greated coconut will work.

      1. Archana Jadhav

        Hello,

        I have made the coconut Ladoo & they were so testy, that I couldn’t express it. It is all because of you Manjula aunty. Your home made “khoya” (in Mohanthal receipe) has done magic for me.

        I have 1 request to you that please can you show us how to make “Egg-less cake” in pressure cooker? because, I don’t have oven & my mummy is vegetarian, so for my mother I want to make it. pleaseeeeeeee

        Thank You

    This video was really helpful. I was making a Gits barfi kit and did not understand what “until the mixture leaves the pan” meant. Now it is clear to me. I pulled it off the heat way to early.

    Now seeing how simple the ingredient list is, I am going to just buy the ingredients and make my own! Thanks Aunty!

  16. Jenni

    Hello Aunty,

    Can whipping cream be replaced by normal 2% milk.

    Thanks,
    Jenni

    1. Jaya

      Jenni, I’m going to guess that they cannot be substituted because 2% milk has too little fat in it. Whipping cream is closer to 40% milk fat. The 2% milk might be too thin, but… you can always try and see what happens!

      If you do, please report back how it turned out. Jaya 🙂

  17. Seema

    Hello Aunty

    1. Manjula Jain

      Hi Seema,
      Try Almonds

    1. Jaya

      Saranya, just Google “heavy cream” and “condensed milk” and you will get all the information you want.

    hi manjula aunty,
    i live in germany and i really miss some of the sweets. And i don’t like buying them from indian stores as i don’t know when they have been packed.
    But after seeing ur recipies i tried most of them n they all really came out well. Thanks for ur recipies. Ur website is of great help to all those people like me who live far frm our home country.

    For making coconut burfi dry coconut powder is used or the fresh one is used?

  29. Vikas

    Hi Ma’am, I’ve prepared your Coconut burfi recipe several times now each time with a little twist of my own and it has turned out really nice everytime.. As you’ve mentioned in your site, half the fun in cooking is in experimenting.. the other half, 😉 – is in realizing how simple cooking can be by seeing your simple cooking videos..
    Thanks for the effort you’ve put in sharing such wonderful recipes with rest of us..
    Looking forward for many more recipes from you.. 🙂

    By the way, the website is really good looking..
    I always used to see ur videos in Youtube and had never realized you had a website.. When was this website launched?

  33. Manjula Jain

    you cooked milk and sugar syrup too long

  34. Sonia

    The burfy I have made has actually become dry and powdery. Can you please tell me about what can be done to make it normal? Thanks

  35. kssureshpadma7

    verynice

  36. Jaya

    Hi Anju,
    Dry milk powder is simply milk that has had the liquid removed. The dry powder has a long shelf life and can be reconstituted to make milk again.

    It’s useful in cooking because you get the thickness without spending hours cooking regular milk until it’s reduce to a thick mass which is the basis for sweets like burfi.

    The only substitution is to cook milk the long way on the stove top stirring often. It’s worthwhile to get dry milk powder instead and should be easy to find in the baking section of a grocery store.

    Hope this helps! 🙂
