How to Make 7 Cup Burfi

The name of this sweet treat comes from the fact that 7 cups are used to make it. This is a very popular Indian sweet usually made on special occasions, but you could make it on weekends or for dessert or whenever you want.

Ingredients

• 1 cup chickpea flour (besan)
• 3 cups sugar
• 1 cup ghee
• 1 cup cashew nut powder + grated fresh coconut
• 1 cup milk

1.

   Put all of the ingredients in a sturdy kadai or deep bottom pan. First add the cashew nut powder, grated coconut, then the besan. Pour the milk and then add the ghee. Place the kadai on high flame and also make sure that you check the time!

   Stir constantly. With a slotted ladle, keep stirring to mix in the flour well with all the ingredients. Remember the flame is high, so you have to keep stirring constantly to prevent the mixture from burning at the bottom.

   Lower the flame. After 10 minutes, reduce the flame to low and continue stirring. You will find bubbles coming up and the mixture starts pulling away from the sides.

   • After 10 minutes, the batter consistency is thick and you can see the bottom.

   Take a square or circle plate and grease it with ghee. Immediately pour the batter on the greased plate. Holding on the sides of the plate so that you don't burn yourself, gently pat the plate on the floor. This way your mix gets spread evenly. Allow it to sit for 10 minutes, then with a greased knife make marks either as diamond or square.
