Poha Burfi

Poha Burfi is a low-fat version of Khoa (dried whole milk) Burfi. This burfi is very simple and quick to make as the ingredients are readily available at home. In this recipe, I have used thin poha due to non-availability of thick Poha. Using thick poha may give a better texture to this burfi.





Ingredients :

For Poha Burfi
1 tbspn Ghee
2 cups thin rice flakes (flattened rice/Poha)
1 cup Milk
3 tbspns Sugar
1 tbspn chopped cashew nut 
1/2 tspn cardamom powder
1 tspn Milk masala 

For Garnishing :
Milk Masala

Ghee for greasing the plate

Method :

Take Poha into Colander. Wash and rinse gently under running water. Drain the water and keep aside for 5 minutes. 

Heat ghee in a non-stick pan. Add rice flakes in the pan and cook it for 7-8 minutes or till the poha starts changing colour. Then add milk and stir for 5 minutes. Then add Sugar and chopped cashew nuts. Keep stirring till the mixture is thick. Switch off the flame and add cardamom powder and milk masala. Mix it well. 

Now grease a deep plate with ghee. Pour the burfi mixture into it. Spread it evenly in the plate with the help of a  flat cup or spoon. Sprinkle some milk masala over it. Allow it to cool for some time. Then cut it into desired shape and serve immediately.

Notes :

1. If you are using thick Poha then quantity of milk may have to be increased.
2. Sugar can be substituted with sugar free powder

    1. Thanks for the compliments Deepa. Milk masala is a blend of nuts and spices like Almonds,Cashewnuts, Pista, Cardamom, Nutmeg, Saffron etc. It is readily available in stores. It is mainly used to prepare Masala Milk.
