Notes

  1. Adding hot water is optional but speeds up the cooking process
  2. Adjust the sugar according to your sweetness. You can add 1/2 cup for milk sweet
  3. Always add the lemon juice gradually, Mix well in between
  4. If you prefer to have it like halwa (milk halwa) you can turn off the stove after 10 minutes when the mixture thickens and comes together
  5. To cut milk burfi cook till it turns nonstick else it will be difficult to cut
  6. You can add kewra water or other flavoring of your choice
  7. Avoid cutting the burfi immediately. Always let it cool completely then try to cut
  8. Burfi stays good at room temperature for up to 1 week
