I made these delicious Papita Besan burfi for my hubby on a special demand today. I was busy doing my morning chores when I heard my hubby and son all giggling and laughing. They had just returned from their morning walk and I could see my hubby holding a papaya in his hand. He came all smiling to me and says, “Why don’t you make something sweet out of this papaya today?” You would not want to upset your hubby especially if he has made a sweet demand 🙂 ..

My family loves sweets and loves to try out new things. I was just thinking yesterday how it all started..My relationship and love with food goes back to my childhood days. I still hold on to the fond memories of captivating aromas from my mom’s kitchen and that’s where my journey begun. She taught me cooking, exploring with different ingredients and taking food ventures. I can think of chilly in a dessert or chocolate in a pickle. I can make my drink as sweet as I want or make it wild with spices.

I was thinking whether to make a cake or fruit custard with papaya but I wanted to try out something different today. So, finally I decided to make these besan burfi and added a twist of papaya. Papayas are sweet and I knew it will add a nice flavor and color to the dish. The best part is that my hubby and kiddo loved it.
