    Method

• Lets make plain burfi first: In a non-stick pan, heat butter or ghee in a low flame and melt it..

• Add milk powder and roast in ghee..Do not roast at high flame else milk powder will get burn..

• Add milk and powdered sugar and stir well at a low flame for about 4 to 5 mins till mixture leaves sides of the pan..

• Add cardamom powder and mix well..

• Pour this mixture over a ghee greased dish and level it with a back of a ghee greased spoon.Set aside.

     Notes

• Always use good quality milk powder while making sweets..

• Instead of cocoa powder you can use saffron mixed with milk,it becomes saffron-plain burfi or you can use pistachio paste too,it becomes pistachio-plain burfi.

• This burfi may be soft at beginning..Better eat next day,so all ghee and sugar will absorb and it will turn slight crisp..It tastes too delicious..
