Equipment

1 Pan

Ingredients

800 grams Khoya or Mawa or Khoa
1 cup Sugar

First Layer (Mawa ki Barfi)

¼ teaspoon Cardamom powder

Second layer (Gulkand Ki burfi)

2 tablespoon Gulkand
Pinch of red color (optional)
Silver vark or edible silver (optional)

Instructions

You can grate or crumble mawa or khova.
In a pan, mix khoya and sugar together. See that there are no lumps.
800 grams Khoya or Mawa or Khoa, 1 cup Sugar
Keep this on medium flame and continue to saute till the mixture thickens, comes together, and forms a mass. This may take anywhere between 8 to 10 minutes. Check out the video here. Time required may vary depending on the flame’s intensity, pan’s thickness, and the moisture content in the khoya.
Next, divide the sweetened mawa dough into two equal parts.
To one portion, you can add cardamom powder and transfer this to a greased plate or tray lined with parchment paper. Press and level it.
¼ teaspoon Cardamom powder
To another portion, add gulkand, red food color, and mix. Transfer this mixture over the first layer. Press and level. Garnish it with edible silver (vark) if needed.
2 tablespoon Gulkand, Pinch of red color (optional), Silver vark or edible silver (optional)
Let this set for a couple of hours at room temperature or in the refrigerator. I prefer to let the burfi cool for 30 mins at room temperature and then transfer it to the fridge for a couple of hours or until set. Then cut them into desired shape and size. Enjoy. Happy Diwali.

Notes

See that you always cook on medium to medium-low flame and keep stirring so that the mixture is not burnt.
If you want it richer, you can add 1 tablespoon of ghee if desired.
