7 Cups Burfi

Wishing everyone a very Happy Deepavali ! :)

I made Chaklis/Murukku, Oma Podi, Coconut Burfis, Badam Halwa and this 7 cups Burfi this year. This is a very popular and easy sweet and gets its name from the fact that 7 cups of ingredients go into this mix. Possibly because of the high sugar content, it results in quite a huge quantity even when a really small cup is used... so though my measure below says 1 cup, I wouldn't recommend using the standard 8oz cup when making this, unless you want a LOT of burfis :)

SEVEN CUPS BURFI



Ingredients:
Besan - 1 cup
Coconut or Almonds or Cashews - 1 cup
Milk - 1 cup
Ghee - 1 cup
Sugar - 3 cups

Method:
1) If using coconut, grind it so it's softer and fine. If using Badam (Almonds) or Cashews, soak in boiling water for an hour, (peel the badams) and grind with the 1 cup of milk to a paste.
Also, grease a plate with a few drops of melted ghee and set aside.

2) First sieve, then fry besan in abt 1 tbsp of ghee till fragrant - stirring constantly, taking care to not burn.

3) Combine sugar, ghee, milk, almond/coconut with besan in a heavy bottomed pan and heat on medium. I would recommend wearing oven mitts, once the mixture starts boiling (and is yet to become thick), because the mixture splatters a lot.

4) Cook until it thickens, leaves the sides of pans and kind of bubbles up (about 20 minutes). Immediately remove from the stove and pour onto a greased plate.

5) When it cools a bit (not completely) score with a knife into desired shape. This is just downright delicious when warm and literally melts in your mouth.


I would like to send this as well to Srivalli for JFI - Festival treats this month.. JFI is the brainchild of Indira.
