7 Cup Burfi Recipe – A soft burfi of besan having the divine flavour of coconut very simple to make. What appealed to me the most was the name “7 cup barfi”. Kind of mysterious… I got carried in to the recipe to find those 7 cups.
This is a very popular Indian sweet usually made on special occasions, but you could make it on weekends or for dessert or whenever you want.
1. Dry roast 1 cup besan on a low flame till its aromatic
2. Do not brown it
3. Once the besan is cooked, add 1 cup desiccated coconut
4. Add 3 cups sugar
5. Add 1 cup milk
6. Add 1 cup ghee
7. And cook on a low flame
8. After 10 minutes, the ghee starts to separate
9. After further 5 minutes, the mix has large bubbles
10. After further 3 minutes, the mix thickens and leaves the sides and bottom of the pan
11. Do the soft ball test. Put a tiny portion in a glass of water and let it sit
12. Make a ball with it. If you are able to make a ball the mix is ready to set. If you are not able to make a ball cook further for a minute and do the test. Repeat till the mix reaches the soft ball stage
13. Once the mix has ready, pour in a lined or greased tray. Garnish with handful of chopped nuts
14. Let it sit at the room temperature for 2 hours or more. It depends on the thickness of the burfi
15. After a couple of hours, de-mould it
16. Cut into desired size and serve
