Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my burfi mixture turn lumpy?

Add the milk powder gradually to the warm milk and ghee on low flame, stirring all the time. Adding it all at once makes lumps.

How do I know the mixture is ready to shape?

It is ready when it turns thick, leaves the sides of the pan and forms a soft dough. Let it cool slightly before kneading in the colours.
