  • 400 grams sugar About 2 cups plus 1 tablespoon
  • 630 grams whole milk powder About 5 cups plus ¼ cup

    Mango pulp and sugar added to pan.
  • In about 3-4 minutes the mixture will begin to simmer. You'll notice bubbling around the edges and small bubbles form in the center. Turn gas down to low.

  • Cook this burfi mixture for about 11-12 minutes on low. You'll notice it is thick and heavy and begins to look fluffy over time. Be sure to stir every 15-20 seconds so the mixture doesn't burn. After 11-12 minutes turn off gas and remove pot from heat.

  • Place the mango burfi mixture into a parchment lined 8 inch square pan. Use a silicon spatula to smooth over top. Grease either a spatula or the bottom of a cup or small bowl with a little ghee. Use that to smooth over the top. Use a tapping and gliding motion.

Notes
These are big burfi pieces, you can definitely cut them smaller if you wish.  If you'd like less height on them, use a 9 inch square pan.
