INGREDIENTS
- All purpose flour/maida – 3/4 cup
- Ghee – 1/4 cup
- Sugar – 1 cup
- Water – 1/2 cup
- Cardamom powder – 1/4 tsp
PROCEDURE
- Grease a plate/tin with ghee and keep it aside.
- Heat ghee in a kadai.
- Add maida to the very hot ghee.
- Fry it for 1 minute. The texture of the maida should be sandy. Turn off the flame.
- Take sugar in pan.
- Add water to it.
- Let the sugar to dissolve completely. Allow it to boil.
- Continue to cook until the syrup reaches single string consistency. Turn off the flame.
- Add cardamom powder.
- Now add ghee fried maida.
- Mix it well and break the lumps if any.
- Keep stirring till the mixture is combined well and start leaving the sides of the pan.
- Now, pour the mixture on the greased plate/tin.
- Pat the top evenly.
- Make square or diamond mark with a knife.Allow it to cool.
- Carefully remove the burfis from the plate/tin. Sweety maida burfi is ready to taste.
NOTE
- Seive the maida once to avoid any small particles.
- Maida should be added to very hot ghee. This will make maida to get rid of raw taste.
- Any essence of your choice (vanilla essence, rose essence, orange essence and etc) can be added in the place of cardamom powder. I like it plain so just added cardamom powder alone.
- Greased flat bottomed bowl/cup can be used to even the top of the burfi mixture.
- Whisk helps to get a smooth batter soon than ladle.
- Any food color matching the flavor of the barfi can be used.
- If using liquid food color, then it can be added directly to the sugar syrup. Since I used food color powder, I dissolved it in water and added to the sugar syrup.
- You can also avoid food color and leave it plain.
- Ghee fried nuts and saffron strands can also be added.
- Maida burfi tastes good for 1 week if stored in air tight container.
