Milk burfi recipe
Traditionally milk sweets are prepared by boiling milk hours together. this instant milk cake with milk powder can be prepared within 15 minutes. I love palgova and during my childhood days, this milk cake is favorite from Sweet stall.
Lump free smooth milk mixture
Before turning on the stove always mix milk powder and water well and prepare a smooth lump-free mixture. Once we start cooking it might be difficult to break the lumps
Can I reduce water
I would recommend the exact measurement of water and milk powder as it helps with the milk cake texture. Adding hot water is optional but it speeds up the milk sweet cooking process
Can I reduce the sugar?
In our home, we all have sweet tooth so I have used 3/4 cup of sugar. If you prefer mild sweet use 1/2 cup of sugar.
Can I skip lemon juice?
Lemon juice gives the palgova texture to the burfi. If you skip it you might end up with Milk powder burfi. Always add the lemon juice gradually, mix well in-between each addition for the best milk burfi texture
How long should I cook the mixture?
Always cook till the milk powder mixture leave the pan as a whole mess. If you pinch a small portion of the mixture it should look nonsticky

Can I cut the milk burfi immediately?
No always let it cool completely then cut into your desired size. avoiding cutting the milk sweet when it is hot.
Do I need ghee while preparing milk barfi?
No, ghee is optional. I didn’t add ghee while cooking. I used a stoneware pan so the mixture didn’t stick to the pan and I was able to. I used little ghee for greasing the parchment for easy unmolding
