Notes
Expert Tips and FAQ's
- Frying the besan helps bring the strong smell of the raw chick peas flour down. Make sure you just fry it enough to turn pleasantly aromatic and not to let it change color.
- Freshly grated coconut works the best for the recipe. If your grated coconut is larger in size, running it through a blender to grind it into a finer size. This will help in making a smoother burfi.
- Ghee is very important for the flavor and texture of the burfi. I have not tried using anything else other than ghee.
- Finding the end stage can be a little tricky. What helps for me is to looks for foaming and bubbling at the corners when we stir the burfi and also the frothy bubbles will be much lighter in color.
- Make sure to pour the burfi out right away to the greased plate. Once it reaches the end stage, staying in a hot pan keeps cooking the burfi and it will become too hard and crumbly.
- If you have to make a mistake when trying this recipe, it is saferr to cook it more than less. Less cooked burfi will be very fudgy and chewy.
