Maida Burfi Recipe
Easy Maida burfi recipe with step by step images and a
recipe video made from very simple ingredients in jut 20 minutes.
Maida burfi is one such mithai (sweet) which can be made on
any festive occasion as it is so simple and easy to make. It takes just 20
minutes including the 5 minutes preparation time.
This maida burfi can be made in different attractive colors
of your choice by adding food coloring to it. But I avoid using colors and so
have kept it white. To give it an attractive appearance I have added some tutty
fruity to it.
The most important step in the recipe is the making the
sugar syrup. It has to be made of single thread consistency. Do not miss this
consistency as then the burfi would not set.
Grease a tray to set the burfi. You can line it with butter
paper and keep it ready.
In a pan heat ghee and lower the heat.

Add maida and roast
it nicely until you get nice aroma without changing its color. It will need 3-4
mins approximately. Keep it aside.

To test the consistency of the syrup - dip your fingers in
water to avoid burning and touch the back of the ladle using forefinger and
press it with thumb. When you try to separate the fingers you can see a single
string formation which indicates the correct consistency.
Add the roasted maida. Stir well to get a smooth mixture.

Once the mixture becomes smooth enough add cardamom powder followed by tutti frutti and
keep stirring until the mixture thickens nicely and starts leaving the pan
which indicates that it is ready.

Maida Burfi Recipe
Tips:
You can add Vanilla essence instead of cardamom powder.
The most important step in the recipe is single thread
consistency of the sugar syrup, do not miss it. If it is crossed the single
thread consistency the burfis will become brittle. If you remove it before the
single thread consistency the mixture will not thicken on stirring.
If you like you can add any color of your choice.
Dry fruits can also be added.
