Instructions
- Grease a tray and set side.
- Add ¼ cup ghee to a heavy bottom pan and heat it on a medium flame.
- Add rava and saute for 2 mins until it blends well with ghee.
- Add besan and roast them together until a nice aroma comes out. Keep
- stirring constantly to prevent burning. Make sure the besan doesn’t get discoloured.
- Add coconut, sugar and milk. Regulate the flame to low for a while and mix up everything to prevent lumps.
- Begin to cook on a medium heat stirring often. The mixture turns gooey while the sugar melts and begins to bubble up.
- When the mixture thickens slightly add ¼ cup of ghee and cardamom powder. Stir well until the ghee is absorbed completely.
- Add another ¼ cup of ghee. Stir well until absorbed.
- Cook on a low to medium heat until the mixture thickens completely and turns to a halwa consistency. The mixture begins to leave the pan slightly.
- At this stage add 2 tbsps. Ghee and stir well until it is absorbed.
- The burfi mixture will soon begin to leave the pan and turn to a single mass.
- Be quick and transfer this to the greased tray. Level it well with a spatula.
- Sprinkle some sliced nuts on top and press down gently with a greased spoon.
- Allow to cool down. When the burfi is still hot but not very hot, cut them to pieces.
- Cool them completely and store in an air tight jar.
- Rava burfi keeps good for 7 to 10 days at room temperature and for over a month if refrigerated.
