Chocolate Burfi

Chocolaty cake is a Diwali treat

Ingredients - Yields 15

• All purpose flour / maida - 1 cup
• Milk powder - 1/2 cup
• Sugar - 2 cups
• Cashew nuts - 5 nos (or any nuts)
• Coco powder - 1 tbsp (mixed in 1/4 cup of warm water)
• Ghee - 5 tbsp

Method

• Heat the pan with ghee and fry cashew nuts to golden brown
• Slowly add maida and fry evenly
• Now remove it and mix with milk powder
• In a separate pan add sugar and 1/4 cup water and heat it to one string consistency
• Now reduce the flame to low add coco powder mixed in water and stir well
• Switch off the stove and add maida little by little, keep stirring
• The mixture will be thick (like a ball ) but loose enough to spread over the greased plate

• Allow it cool, when it is slightly warm grease the knife and cut into desired shape

• After it cools completely invert the burfi plate to another plate and gently tap it
• store the burfis in an air tight container

Tips - Sugar syrup consistency is very important, if you miss one string consistency the sweet will get little hard. You can also make burfi by adding food colours
