Besan Burfi Recipe

Steps

1. 1We begin making Besan Barfi Recipe, in a deep non stick pan or kadai add mawa/ khoya and roast on medium heat until you observe a slight change in colour and turns aromatic. Scoop it into a bowl and set it aside.
2. 2Now to the same pan, add the ghee and oil. You can add only ghee as well. Allow it to heat up slightly.
3. 3Add the gram flour and roast on medium heat stirring continuously.
4. 4After four to five minutes, you can observe that the gram flour turning frothy and bubbly.
5. 5Continue stirring and roasting for 6 to 8 minutes or until the froth settles, most of the bubbles disappear. And also until its aroma is felt and turns golden in colour.
6. 6Now sprinkle a few drops of water (1to 1-1/2 teaspoons) precisely after which tiny white bubbles will be formed. This makes the flour slightly grainy that helps in its texture.
7. 7Continue roasting on medium heat until all the droplets disappear say for about 4 to 5 minutes.
8. 8Later turn off the heat and the place the pan over cold water bath (pan or a larger plate filled with water upto an inch or two depending on the size of your kadai/pan) to cool the mixture until Luke warm.
9. 9Once the mixture is cooled add the roasted mawa/khoya.
