Maida Burfi

Tasty Maida Burfi 💙💚💛💜💓


Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 25 minutes
Yields : 40 pieces

INGREDIENTS:

All purpose flour/maida - 1 1/2 cup
Sugar - 2 3/4 cup
Water - 1 cup
Ghee - 3/4 cup
Cashews - a handful
Food colour - a pinch
Vanilla essence - 1/4 teaspoon(optional)

METHOD:

1. Prepare all ingredients and set ready. In a large plate, place an aluminium foil and grease it with ghee.


2. In a pan. Add ghee. Allow it to boil and when it is heated well, add chopped cashews. Then slowly add maida in one hand and keep stirring on the other hand. Stir continuously without any lumps for 2 to 3 minutes, until you get a paste like texture as below. The maida should be fried well in the ghee . Switch off the stove.


3. Now in a vessel, add sugar. Add water just to cover the sugar. I added about 1 cup of water . Allow to boil, till you get a one string consistency . It takes approximately 9 to 10 minutes. Pour a drop of sugar syrup on a plate. When it is warm, press the syrup between forefinger and thumb and when you pull apart , you get one string.


4. Now add food color and vanilla essence to the syrup and switch off the stove.


5. Now pour this sugar syrup on the maida mixture which we prepared in step 2. Keep stirring continuously. Remember this stirring is done not on the stove. No need to heat this mixture. Just without turning on the gas stove, keep stirring the syrup and maida mixture. In 4 to 5 minutes, it slowly thickens and starts leaving the sides of the pan. The mixture thickens and comes together.


6. Pour this mixture on the greased aluminum foil. Spread it evenly. spread some ghee on the back of metal cup and press it gently on the mixture.



7. Wait for about 5 to 10 minutes. When it is warm, flip the burfi on the other plate and slowly remove the aluminium foil. Grease a knife with ghee, and cut them in to square shapes.Do not allow to cool down completely. You need to cut them in to desired shapes when it is warm.




8. Maida burfi is ready ! Refrigerate them after a day.
