Expert Tips
Use slightly coarse milk powder to give a texture to the burfi. Use boiled, warm milk preferably full cream fresh milk. Cook until it comes together as a mass, do not cook more as the burfi will become hard. You can set it in room temperature itself but takes more time so I always set it in fridge. Use a thick bottomed pan, I used my carbon steel pan. You can either use steel pans or nonstick pans. Do not use iron as it gets heated quickly and the chances of burning is high. Grind white granulated sugar to a fine powder and use it.
Serving & Storage
Milk Powder Burfi keeps well in room temperature for about 1 day and in fridge for 3-5 days. As milk is also used the shelf life is less in room temperature.
