Instructions

Simple & easy-to-follow

Step 1

In a heavy-bottomed saucepan or kadai, add the milk powder, milk, powdered sugar, pumpkin puree, ground cardamom, and one tbsp of ghee.

Step 2

 Mix it well without any lumps.

Step 3

Over medium-low heat, cook this mixture. It will loosen up, and it will be slightly runny. And that’s perfectly fine.

Step 4

After about 4 to 5 minutes, the mixture will thicken, and at that stage, add the remaining ghee and mix well.

Step 5

Now reduce heat further (on a number scale to 2 or 3) and cook the mixture for 8 to 10 minutes (timing might vary, please see the consistency check below) until it thickens. Please do not leave it unattended. Keep stirring at regular intervals.

Step 6

Consistency check – When the milk powder mixture thickens, and it will come together as one mass. When you drop a blob of milk powder mix, it should fall without sticking in the spatula as shown in the picture; alternatively, you can take a small piece of the burfi mix and let it cool. If you can make a small ball without the mix sticking to your fingers, it is done. If not, cook again by adding little ghee.

Step 7

Now transfer it to a plate or cake pan lined with parchment paper and spread it evenly or per the desired thickness. Sprinkle the nuts and rose petals and press them gently. Let it cool for 60 to 90 minutes. The slice the burfi and enjoy.
