Burfi

Diwali also known as Deepavali is the "festival of lights". The festival spiritually signifies the victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, good over evil, and hope over despair.

A Very Happy Diwali to all.

No celebration is complete without a sweet  and my special recipe for this Diwali is a Burfi. My son named it as a 'double decker burfi'. Yes it is… one layer of chocolate and the other Milk. I added some crushed nuts to give that crunchy taste also. Chocolate is favorite to everyone specially kids like it more. You can count this as an easy recipes as it has only few ingredients and easy to prepare also.
You could garnish your  Barfi with silver foil too if you wish to make it look more festive.  I did not do this here. 


Ingredients:

For white layer:-
Maida/ All purpose flour - 1/2 cup 
Milk powder- ½ cup
Milk – 3 table spoon
Ghee  - 2 table spoon
Sugar  - 1/2 cup 
Vanilla essense - 3 drops 
Crushed nuts- 2 table spoon

For Chocolate layer:-
Maida/ All purpose flour - 1/2 cup 
Milk powder- ½ cup
Chocolate powder- 2 table spoon
Milk – 3 table spoon
Ghee  - 2 table spoon
Sugar  - 1/2 cup 

Directions

Grease plate with some ghee and keep it ready.
Heat Ghee in a pan until hot, add milk
Combine all-purpose flour and milk powder and add it to the ghee , Stir constantly and cook on low-medium flame
In another pan, add sugar and 1/2 cup water. Boil until it reach the one string consistency. Add vannila essence
Combine both the roasted flour and the sugar syrup and stir well.
Add the crushed nuts and stir continuously . Continue till the mixture gets thick. If your sugar syrup is in the correct consistency, the mixture gets thick fast, so the time depends on the syrup consistency.
Pour mixture over the greased plate. Spread evenly.

Add coco powder also to the maida- milk powder mixture. Repeat the same procedure for the next layer also.
Spread the next layer evenly on top of the first layer.
Within 2 hours burfi will get set. Now cut this mixture in square pieces. Burfi is ready. Store it in air tight container and place it refrigerator.
