I had some ‘Khoya’ (milk solids) sitting in my fridge from the time I had made my Anjeer Burfi and I wanted to use it up soon. Besides, there were no desserts at home & I know my hubby would love to have some after dinner 😘

I asked my mom if she knows a fool-proof recipe for a basic white Khoya/ Mawa Burfi... She wasn’t sure as she hadn’t made any for ages 😛 So what next!? Google to my rescue…referred to the recipe here and here too for the proportions and adjusted it according to my taste & the ingredients available in my pantry. My hubby isn’t a fan of coconut usually so eliminated it altogether 😉 it tasted delicious & perfect for any celebrations too or for festivals like Diwali / Raksha Bandhan 😇

I had kept the leftover Khoya in the freezer, hence I thawed it for 1 hour. Once it came to room temperature, I grated it. Let’s have a look at this recipe, it’s very easy to prepare. It took me just 5 ingredients & 15 mins to prepare it!

Yield: 9-10 burfis

Equipment: a non slick pan, a spatula, a tray, a knife, measuring cups/ spoons.

Ingredients:

150 gms grated khoya /Mawa / milk solids

6 tbsp pwd sugar

1/4 tsp cardamom pwd

a few strands of saffron /kesar soaked in a tsp of warm milk

1 tbsp pistachios slivers (for garnishing)

Method:

Grease a tray/ plate & set aside.

Heat the non stick pan, add the grated khoya and sauté for 2-3 mins on low flame. Once it melts a little bit, add the powdered sugar & cardamom pwd. Mix well and sauté on low flame. The khoya will melt completely due to the sugar, keep stirring the mixture until it thickens & starts leaving the sides of the pan. This will take 5 mins. When the mixture comes together to form a dough in the pan, immediately pour this mixture on the greased tray and spread it neatly & flatten the top. Try to make a square shape while doing this so that we can get neat burfis later. Garnish it with slivered pistachio and some saffron. Refrigerate for 30 mins.
