The Burfi Desert

To make Burfi, the ingredients required are:

1 liter of milk

A pinch of Alum powder

40 grams of sugar

100 milliliters of Alphonso Mango (fresh pulp)

1/8 of a teaspoon of cardamom (powdered)

A few drops of Kesar color

Pistachios (optional)

The only cooking instrument needed is a pot. Begin cooking by added the milk to the pot, then heating it until boiling. While it is bubbling, add the alum powder and sugar. When the liquid reduces down to a third of what it was, add the Alphonso Manga pulp. Wait a little while and once the mixture turns into the consistency of a soft ball, add the cardamom powder and Kesar color.

After adding all those ingredients, let the mixture cool. When it is cooled down enough for you to touch, it can be molded into a mango or whichever shape you want. Once that is finished, pistachios can be added as decoration or extra flavoring.
