SHELF LIFE OF BURFI
chocolate burfi can last for up to 1-2 weeks when stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. You can even refrigerate the burfi.
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 a 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 reduce ghee
yes, but in that case texture of burfi might differ. You can save the excess ghee for other cooking.
CAN I MAKE VEGAN CHOCOLATE BURFI?
Traditionally, burfi is made with ghee, which is clarified butter, but you can substitute it with vegetable oil or coconut oil if you prefer a non-dairy option. the texture and flavor may be slightly different compared to the traditional recipe. The burfi may be less rich and have a different mouthfeel, but it can still be delicious.
CAN I REDUCE BUTTER?
Yes, you can adjust the butter or ghee according to your preference. My kids prefer soft and chewy chocolatey burfi . If you reduce the butter the texture of the Indian chocolate cake with turn hard accordingly.
CAN I SKIP NUTS?
Yes, you can skip mixed nuts and prepare Khajar halwa in that case reduce the sugar accordingly.
