Millet Burfi | Mixed Millet burfi | Indian sweet recipes | burfi varieties | festive sweets is a healthy and tasty sweet with millet flour. Burfi tastes good for a week. It is also a nice after-school snack 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 videos. 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 a lot of Millet-based recipes in TMF. Some of the Millet recipes that I already posted,

During my recent India visit “Vayam superfoods” 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 makes a great filling breakfast kanji.

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.

Notes

Oats flour can be used instead of almond flour
