As you know, that Raksha Bandhan is around the corner. I tried to make this burfi so many times into my kitchen that you guys won’t believe that all the time it resulted super delicious.
Last year, due to some reason, I was not able to buy sweets for the Rakhi festival, so I made this milk burfi at my home with milk and sugar. As a result, its taste and texture were so delicious. Since that time, I love to make this sweet whenever I have had some leftover milk. You can make milk burfi very easily. You don’t require sugar syrup, condensed milk, and milk powder for this recipe.
What is Milk Burfi
This milk burfi is also known as ‘mawa/khoya burfi’ in some parts of India. It is an easy and basic plain burfi recipe -soft, dense milk-based fudge made with a handful of ingredients. These are usually made with khoya or mawa that is dry evaporated milk.
There are too many variations of milk-based sweets. Some people use milk powder; some use condensed milk etc., to make this sweet. These are slightly different in texture. Like, mawa burfi has a slightly granular texture whereas the condensed milk burfi has a smooth texture. I usually made burfis using full-fat milk, sugar, and these ready together so quickly.
