Maidha (Flour) Burfi

Ingredients :

• Flour (Maidha) - 1/2 cup
• Sugar - 1 cup
• Vanaspati Ghee - 1/4 cup
• Water - 3/4 cup
• Vanilla essence - 1/4 tsp 
• Any food colour - 3 drops

Method :

Heat the pan & add 1/4 cup of vanaspati ghee. Check if the same is hot by adding a pinch of flour (because it should get fried immediately). Add 1/2 cup maidha & mix well. Roast well until you get nice aroma without changing its colour. Then keep aside.

In another heavy bottom pan, add 1 cup sugar & 3/4 cup of water. Boil until one string consistency is reached. Check between your fingers wherein a string should form. Switch off the flame & add the roasted maidha. Add 1/4 tsp vanilla essence & 3 drops of food colour. Mix well to dissolve it in the sugar syrup. Keep mixing. When it starts cooling down, it will become thick. Once it becomes thick & spreadable, transfer it to a grease plate. Spread evenly to a greased flat bottom bowl. Cool down & invert the plate. Cut into squares or any desired shapes. Your burfi is ready.
