The making of thandai burfi is the same as any traditional burfi only extra step here is you will have to make Thandai powder which will take less than a minute.

Here are a few tips to make perfect barfi every single time.
As I always say, before starting, make sure your pan is always on medium to medium-low heat, and you keep stirring continuously throughout the process to avoid it from burning at the bottom.
To know if you have reached the final stage and burfi is ready to set, you should be able to form a non-sticky ball from the mixture. From my experience, it will take anywhere between 9 to 12 minutes on medium flame once you have added sugar and mixed everything. But note that the time may also vary depending on the size of the pan and the intensity of the flame.
Making perfect burfi comes by practice. If you undercook the burfi, it will remain sticky, and if you overcook, it will become chewy. So try to make it in small batches if you are trying it for the first time.
