I love Indian sweets and some of my all time favorite are kaju burfi and gulab jamuns. I love 7 cup burfi and going to share an easy recipe to make it with you all today. It is a delicious fudge made with besan which is chickpeas flour. You combine ghee, sugar and freshly scraped coconut to it and 7 cup burfi is ready. It also has a flavour of cardamom which makes it even more scrumptious.
Check out the video to make fudgy 7 cup burfi:
I have added 1/2 cup of Idhayam Mantra groundnut oil to enhance its taste and texture. You can also check out the recipe to make colorful rose jalebis also from my blog.
I have also sprinkled some musk melon seeds on top of the burfi. You can even sprinkle some crushed pistachios to give it a nutty flavor. This Indian sweet is also made for festivals like Diwali, Navritri etc.
