Pettikada sweet

This version of Maida burfi popularly known as pettikadai halkova is popular among 80’s and 90’s kids. For longer shelf life we use milk Powder instead of milk.

DO I NEED THIS MUCH GHEE FOR THE maida BURFI?

To get melt-in-mouth petti kada style halgova you need this much ghee altering might affect the burfi taste.

SHOULD I USE HOT GHEE FOR palkova 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 USE HOMEMADE POWDERED SUGAR FOR halkova BURFI?

I have used Store-bought powdered sugar. Instead, you can fine-grind sugar. If you are grinding sugar, use less compared to the specified powdered sugar quantity as quantity increases after grinding. 

CAN I REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF SUGAR?

Yes, you can adjust sugar according to your taste. Avoid using very little sugar compared to the specified quantity as it might affect burfi texture

IS IT MANDATORY TO REFRIGERATE BEFORE CUTTING THE BURFI?

Refrigerating helps for setting so prefer this method. Instead, you set it at room temperature for an additional time. 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 the ghee flavor. 

CAN I ADD WATER INSTEAD OF GHEE?

No, pls avoid water as it won’t give the perfect texture for Burfi.
