Mawa burfi or khoya burfi as the name suggests is made up of
mawa also known as khoya. I have made this burfi with the instant
homemade khoya pooled with sugar, some nuts with the zest of cardamom makes
this admired sweet delicacy.
Care need to be taken while preparing it as it burns very
quickly so always keep the heat low. Also if the khoya you are using is hard
then you would need to add more milk. Other tips are mentioned in the tips
section after the method.

At this time turn off the heat. If you continue to cook the
burfi would become sticky, hard and chewy.
Now transfer the burfi mixture into the greased tray and
level it with a greased spatula. Greasing the spatula is important else the
burfi mixture would stick to the spatula.

Garnish it with sliced pistachios and gently press them with
a dry spatula so that the pistachios would not come out from the burfi once
cooled.
