Notes

  1. Food color can be added if preferred
  2. Almond extract can be added for extra flavour
  3. Nuts can be sprinkled
  4. Ghee can be used instead of butter
  5.  Burfi starys good for 2 weeks
  6.  Regular almonds can be used instead of almond flour. Soak and peel the skin. Dry roast the almost a bit till the wet texture goes and pulse it
  7. If burfi is cut after a longtime it might be difficult to cut it with a proper shape
  8. If you over cook the burfi and it become crumbs after transferring into a try. Grind the crumb with little milk and cook it again and cut into shape
