Khoya Burfi Recipe

Ingredients

1. Khoya 400 gms
2. Sugar 200 gms
3. Pistachio 10-12 no
4. Water 100-125 ml
5. Silver varak 1 leaf

Method of Preparation:-

• Mash or grate Khoya. Cook it in a heated Kadhai or kadhai, until it becomes pinkish in colour and comes off the edges of the pan. Keep aside in a metal or heat proof bowl.
• Bring water to boil add sugar and stir to dissolve. Boil briskly until 3 wire consistencies are obtained
• Pour over the Khoya, mix quickly and turn out on to the greased tray.
• Spread with a spatula, to approximately 2 cm. thickness. Even out with wetted fingers (to stop sticking).
• Sprinkle pistachio/almonds, if used, and press gently into the khoya
• Put silver sheets on top gently, covering most of the surface. These come with a paper backing. You simply place each sheet on the burfi, silver side down and peel off the paper.
• Cut burfies in diamond or square shapes when cool and store in an airtight box.
