PISTA BURFI

INGREDIENTS

• 1 tablespoon Ghee
• 2 cups Milk Powder
• ½ cup +2 tablespoons Powdered Sugar
• 3 tablespoons Milk
• A pinch of Pistachio Extract
• 1½ tablespoons Coarsely pounded Pistachios

GARNISH

• Coarsely pounded Pistachios
• Edible dried rose petals

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1: Melt ghee in a heavy bottomed pan, and add milk powder. 

Step 2: Stir until the mixture looks crumbly. Maintain the heat at the medium-low setting. 

Step 3: Pour milk into this mixture and mix it well. Add milk slowly. The mixture will come together as a soft, elastic dough. If the mixture doesn’t bind well, add another tablespoon of milk. 

Step 4: Add powdered sugar, pistachio essence, and stir to combine. 

Step 5: Keep stirring continuously, do not leave the mixture unattended at any time as it may burn. Keep stirring and soon the mixture will start to thicken. 

Step 6: Take it off the flame and allow it to cool slightly. Add Pistachios to the mixture. Mix to combine.

Step 7: Pour it into a baking dish and generously sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of crushed green pistachio pieces on top.

Step 8: Allow the burfi to set (remain undisturbed) for 4-6 hours or overnight.

Step 9: This decadent nutty pista burfi tastes amazing at room temperature.
