Today’s post is a special one, milk powder burfi recipe with step by step pics and a short youtube video. Though it does not comes under the HOLI Festival sweets, it is the easiest one to prepare for the last minute rush. It can also be called as milk fudge or instant burfi recipe, as it is made with very few ingredients and the whole process gets finished within 15 minutes.

Milk powder burfi is the easiest one to prepare. It can also be called as milk fudge or instant burfi recipe, as it is made with very few ingredients and the whole process gets finished in 15 minutes.
- 2.5 Cups Milk Powder
- 1/4 Cup Ghee Link for ghee
- 3/4 Cup Boiled Milk
- 1/2 Cup Sugar
- 1/2 tsp Cardamom Optional
- Few Strands Saffron For Garnishing
- 1 tbsp Chopped Nuts Optional
Measure and keep all the ingredients ready.
In a pan, pour ghee and heat a little. Then pour the boiled milk.
Do everything in very low flame, else it gets burnt at the bottom. Add milk powder slowly and in a sprinkled way. Then add sugar and stir continuously till it dissolves.
Continue stirring in low flame and ensure there is no lumps. First it turns goey and after 2 minutes the mixture leaves the sides of the pan and it forms as a mass.
Line a tray / plate with butter paper and grease it with little ghee all around. Then transfer the mixture to the tray and level it with a ladle or spoon.
If preferred, sprinkle some nuts, saffron or decorate with silver foil or you can have it plain also. Keep undisturbed for an hour. Then place the tray on a plate and gently tap to remove. Now slowly peel the butter paper.
Draw lines with a knife or pizza cutter to make it into pieces. Store it in an airtight container.

1. Measure and keep all the ingredients ready.
2. In a pan, pour ghee and heat a little. Then pour the boiled milk.
3. Do everything in very low flame, else it gets burnt at the bottom. Add milk powder slowly and in a sprinkled way. Then add sugar and stir continuously till it dissolves.
4. Continue stirring in low flame and ensure there are no lumps. First, it turns goey and after 2 minutes the mixture leaves the sides of the pan and it forms as a mass. Don’t cook after it forms a mass, else the burfi turns chewy. If you are not sure of the consistency, pinch a little mixture and try to roll it. If it easily forms into a ball, then it’s perfect. The ball should be soft, not hard.
5. Line a tray/plate with butter paper and grease it with little ghee all around. Then transfer the mixture to the tray and level it with a ladle or spoon.
6. If preferred, sprinkle some nuts, saffron or decorate with silver foil or you can have it plain also. I liked the burfi, decorated with silver foil, so took the final photo with it. Keep undisturbed for an hour. Then place the tray on a plate and gently tap to remove. Now slowly peel the butter paper.
7. Draw lines with a knife or pizza cutter to make it into pieces. Store it in an airtight container.
