Millet Burfi is a healthy and tasty sweet with millet flour. Burfi tastes good for a week. It is also a nice after school snacks for kids.
I know I am super late in posting a sweet recipe. I prepared this Millet Burfi for Diwali. My sister was here for Diwali, and we both had a lot of fun while taking pictures and video. Today I was in a big dilemma – Diwali is already over. Is it ok to post a sweet recipe now? But then I thought if I didn’t document the recipe in my blog, I might forget the proportion for the sweet. So I decided to go ahead with the post.
I have been using Millet for a long time and you would have seen lot of Millet based recipes in TMF. Some of the Millet recipes that I already posted,
During my recent India visit “Vayam super foods” offered me a pack of multi Millet flour, jaggery powder and salt for review. This is not a sponsored post. They sent me samples but all opinions are mine.
Multi Millet kanji flour was a great replacement for regular sathu maavu kanji. I like the way they made the Millet flour with mixed Millet, cardamom powder and nuts. It make a great filling breakfast kanji.
Tasty and healthy kanji has become a staple food in my everyday mid morning drink.
Vayam Multi Millet Mix combines the nutrients of 23 natural ingredients. This nutritious blend of whole grains, cereals, millets, pulses and spices is rich in protein ,dietary fiber and iron.
For Diwali when I was thinking of sweet options I thought why not a sweet with multi millet mix.
This was my first attempt at Burfi with Millet flour and I was so happy with the way it turned out. Even my picky-eater son enjoyed this burfi.
