No-cook easy Diwali sweet
A few days back I prepared milk peda for Navaratri. I scooped some extra milk powder, so instead of putting back in the box I thought of making laddu. I added extra ghee, but I lost the consistency. I didn’t want to waste it. I just kept the mixture in the fridge and after 1 hour I tasted it. It was so delicious. My family couldn’t believe it when I said it was a fixer sweet. I want to document the recipe before I forget. Tried it again and yes this recipe is a keeper.
Do I need this much ghee for the Milk powder burfi?
If you are planning to cook the burfi, you can add 1/4 cup of milk instead of 1/2 cup of ghee, and additional 1/4 cup of ghee. For no-cook milk powder burfi, we need lot of ghee to hold the burfi.
How do I make burfi if I am planning to use milk?
In a heavy-bottomed pan add 1/4 cup of ghee, 1/4 cup of milk, 1 cup of milk powder, and 1/2 cup of sugar. Cook till you get a nonsticky dough. Cool and cut
Should I use hot ghee for milk powder burfi?
It is preferred to add melted ghee (liquid form ) for the burfi. In my place ghee tends to solidify due to weather conditions. If that’s the case for you melt ghee in the microwave for few seconds and add. If you just prepared ghee from butter use that directly. Ghee can be at room temperature but it should be completely melted and be in a liquid state.
Can I use homemade powdered sugar for malai burfi?
Store-bought powdered sugar will have the cornstarch which helps with the burfi’s texture. If you prefer no-cook burfi use icing sugar instead of grinding sugar at home.
Can I reduce the amount of sugar?
You can use 1/3 cup to 1/2 cup of sugar for this burfi. Avoid using less sugar compared to the specified quantity as it might affect burfi texture
Is it mandatory to refrigerate before cutting the burfi?
Yes, since we have not cooked the burfi it is very important to refrigerate at least 40 minutes before cutting the burfi. The time may slightly vary depending on the fridge’s coolness, but cut the burfi only after it becomes firm. Always grease the knife with ghee before cutting
Can I melt the butter in the microwave and use it for milk Burfi?
Melted butter tastes different compared to melted ghee. If you like melted butter flavor you can use it. I personally like ghee flavor.
Can I add water instead of ghee?
No, pls avoid water as it won’t give the perfect texture for Burfi.
