Ingredients for Besan burfi Recipe

  • 3 cup Besan
  • 1 cup Ghee
  • 2 cup Sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 tsp Cardamom powder
  • 1 tbsp Chopped pistachios

Directions: Besan Burfi Recipe

  • STEP 1.Melt ghee in a pan on medium heat. Add the sifted besan into the pan and stir. Lower the heat
  • STEP 2.Start stirring, the besan will clump up at first. Don't worry and keep stirring.
  • STEP 3.After around 15 minutes, the besan will start to loosen up (see pictures above).
  • STEP 4.After stirring for around 20 minutes, it will become smooth.
  • STEP 5.Around 25 minutes, it will become like a smooth paste. Add cardamom powder at this point and cook for 5 more minutes.
  • STEP 6.So, I cooked the besan for total of 30 minutes on low heat. Remove pan from heat and set aside.
  • STEP 7.Let it cool down while you make the sugar syrup. Besan should cool down to room temperature before sugar syrup is added to it.
  • STEP 8.To a pan, add sugar and water on medium heat.
  • STEP 9.Let the sugar dissolve, will take around 4 to 5 minutes.
  • STEP 10.Then lower the heat and let syrup simmer for 5 to 6 minutes until it reaches one string consistency.
  • STEP 11.It takes me 6 minutes always after the sugar dissolves to reach the 1 string consistency on low heat.
  • STEP 12.Put a drop of sugar syrup between your thumb and index finger and pull them apart, you should see a single thread formation. This is the right consistency. If you have a kitchen thermometer this becomes much easier, it should measure 110 C (230 F) when done.
  • STEP 13.Turn off the heat as soon as the syrup reaches that stage. Do not over cook the sugar syrup.
  • STEP 14.Now add the sugar syrup to the cooked besan (which has cooled down at this point).
  • STEP 15.Stir until all the sugar syrup is well combined with the besan.
  • STEP 16.Pour batter into greased tin and Tap the pan to get rid of excess air. Sprinkle pistachios on top.
  • STEP 17.Let the burfi set for 2-3 hours (or more) and then cut into pieces. I trim the edges and then cut them into squares. Store besan burfi at room temperature for 10 days!
