Pottukadalai burfi | burfi recipe | pottukadalai cake a quick Indian sweet prepared with roasted Gram. Mild sweet burfi is one tasty option for Diwali.
As I told in Kaju Katli and Almond katli, RK sir’s Pressure cooking gave a new dimension for making quick sweets.since OPOS is the registered trademark I am not using it for my recipe but I give credits to RK sir for this idea. String like consistency is something which was one of my biggest concerns. Due to that fear of that I have avoided preparing many sweets.
For this Potttukadali Cake I have used RK sir’s Pressure cooker sugar syrup technique. Within 5 minutes sugar syrup was done. Last year I posted Beetroot Poriyal. Beetroot cooking was Based on that method but since I tempered it separtely I believe that wont falls under That category. When I missed this and Quoted the Poriyal under Founder pinged me and told it. I always have a big respect for his cooking after that incident I appreciate him stopping by to message me regarding the same.
Here in this Pottukadalai burfi I have roasted the pottukadali in ghee separately and mixed with sugar syrup so I doubt if the entire sweet will qualify for this technique.
My son recently started going to school and my biggest concern is making his after-school snacks. Recently I was making Pottukadalai urundai for his after-school snacks and while picking him up he asked me what I made for today's snack. I dont know why, but I told him I made burfi.
After coming home I put one urundai in a plate and gave him. He said Amma it is not burfi that is when I realized why not a pottukadalai burfi. I decided to give it a try. To my surprise burfi was a big hit and at home and It has become one regular in our home.
Pottukadalai burfi will have a nice pottukadalai flavour and it is such a nice filling snack for kids. I have used less sugar, if you prefer your sweets on the sweeter side you can add little extra sugar.
