Ingredients

1 Cup Unsweetened Khoya / Mawa crumbled
¼ Cup Sugar
2 Tablespoons Tutti Frutti
A Pinch of Saffron
A Pinch of Cardamom Powder
1-2 Tablespoons Milk
½ Teaspoon Ghee

Instructions

Soak the saffron in hot milk for about 5 minutes. Crush it lightly and set aside.
Crumble the khoya lightly and add it to a pan. Let it cook for a minute on a low flame.
Add the saffron-infused milk, sugar and cardamom powder to the pan and mix well.
Continue cooking on a low-medium flame, stirring continuously for 5-7 minutes or until the mixture thickens.
Add the tutti frutti and mix well so it distributes evenly.
Grease a tray or plate with a little bit of ghee.
Pour the cooked burfi mixture onto the greased plate and spread evenly.
Let it cool completely until firm and cut into desired shapes. Serve.

Notes

Make sure you are using fresh and good-quality khoya, it gives the best flavor and texture.
Make sure you are cooking on a low-medium flame. High heat can burn the mixture and make it dry too quickly.
The mixture should be thick and soft when removed from the heat. It firms up more as it cools.
Overcooking the mixture will make the burfi hard and chewy after cooling.
