Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter)
  • 1 cup dry milk powder
  • ¼ cup whole milk
  • ¼ cup sugar (powdered) adjust according to your preference.
  • 2-3 green cardamoms powdered
  • 2 tablespoons pistachios finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons almonds finely chopped

Instructions

  • Either grease a tray with ghee or line a tray with parchment/butter paper. Set aside.
  • Heat a nonstick pan on low heat. Add ghee, milk, and milk powder. Then, stir thoroughly with a spatula to combine and make sure no lumps are formed.

  • Add sugar and stir to combine well. You may notice that the mixture has become slightly thinner. Now increase the heat to medium-low.
  • Stir continuously for about 5-7 minutes till it becomes thick. It's important to keep stirring to get the perfect texture.
    Once the ghee starts leaving the sides of the mixture and you get the right consistency, switch off the heat; otherwise, the burfi will be chewy.
    step to add sugar and cook collage
  • To check the right consistency, take a pinch (it will be hot), and roll it. If it forms a ball, then it means the mixture is ready to make burfi.
    Add the cardamom powder and combine well.
    step to check the burfi mixture in a plate collage
  • Transfer the milk powder burfi mixture and spread it evenly on the prepared greased tray. We are using a spatula coated with ghee to prevent the mixture from sticking to it.
  • Sprinkle some chopped pistachios and almonds on top for garnishing, and press them gently down with a spoon.
    step to spread the mixture in a tray collage
  • Cover the tray using a cling wrap and let them set well for 1-2 hours. If you are in a hurry, you can also put it in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to cool down quickly.
  • Once cooled, take a sharp knife, apply some ghee on it, cut into small squares, and enjoy milk powder barfi!

Notes

Tips & Variations:

  1. Prepare the milk barfi/burfi on low to medium flame to avoid burning the milk powder mixture.
  2. Do not cook milk powder mixture more, it will result in hard burfis.
  3. If you want to cool the burfi layer quickly, then put it into the refrigerator for at least 15-20 minutes.
  4. You can also add nuts of your choice.
  5. Stays good at room temperature for 7 days.
