@ShowMeTheCurry

Great !!! Thank you for answer !!!

Hello Anjua and Hetal !!!

I have seen much pictures of diffrent indian sweets. The most of them had "silver leaf" on their surface ... Could u maybe show/ tell us how to make this "silver leaf" on indian food?

With nice regards Riccarda

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@MultiRsW1 : The silver leaf is called Varak. It is a long process and a very tedious one to make it at home and really not worth it. It will be easier to find a shop that sells it and just buy it.

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@MultiRsW1 : Sorry - also it does not alter that taste at all - it is used just for decorations.

Can unsalted butter be used insted of ghee? If yes, will it have a drastically different taste?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@panickyyy : No, unfortunately, you can't replace ghee with butter :(

The burfi will have a very buttery taste and you'll be able to taste it. The ghee is smoother and will not form a coating on the burfi.

Check out our "How to make Ghee" video on our channel page or our website.

can v do this without ghee by using just milk too many calrs

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@reenachitra : Unfortunately, this recipe is all about Ghee...you can try reducing it a bit...

[jawad384]

I do not have ghee at the moment can I replace it with UNSALTED BUTTER.?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@jawad384

The reason we use ghee is that it has a higher smoking point than butter. Though we have not tried it, we fear that the butter will burn as the besan (chickpea flour) is cooking.

oh noo... she said the besan becomes "slimy" when in contact with water! that's not exactly the kind a word we like to hear in a kitchen dear! :)

This recipe did not work for me. It was too liquid and has refused to harden. Has anyone else had a similar problem? I've not made barfi for many years and was looking forward to impressing my friends.

[SuzanneBa]

Made this tonight and was most impressed. Although even though I used the same measurements when I added the dry ingredient to the melted ghee it went very dry quickly. However it was delicious, not too sweet, slightly nutty tast.

i dnt think im spelling this rite .. how can u show me how to make 'met-tie' :/

[ShowMeTheCurry]

It's mithai (basically any of a range of Indian sweets). This Besan ki Burfi would classify as a "mithai".

[missy07yashy]

oh i didnt know that but the 'sweet' im talking about in really yummy and its coated in a sugar sauce and leave to cool and its goes all sugary and white and yummy lol

its really hard to explain since its name isnt mithai :-(

[eeshaa123]

thank you Girls !! I always thought that it was not the easiest mithai to make...now I am gonna give it a try. My only question is on the proportions...how much besan exactly with how much sugar and ghee ?? I cant wait to get my hands on this .. :-) thanks again and a very happy Dipawali.

[ShowMeTheCurry]

You can click on the link to the right (under our logo) where it says "Detailed Recipe:...." for the exact proportions. Happy Diwali to you!
