Ingredients
Mango Puree – I prefer to use Alphonso or Kesar mangoes to add in the burfi, as they are sweet and juicy. If you live in the US, you can also go for Ataulfo mangoes. You can use any mangoes, just see that they are properly ripened and sweet. If you want to make it when mangoes are not in season, then you can even use canned mango puree. Dry Fruits – I have used almonds and cashews, dry roasted them, powdered them, and then used them in the recipe. You can also add some crushed pistachios for a nice bite. Other Ingredients – Other than these, you will need sugar, milk powder, ghee, desiccated coconut, and cardamom powder. You can adjust the amount of sugar according to your taste and preference. Do not miss the cardamom powder, as it really oomphs up the taste of burfi. Also, use desi ghee for the best taste.
How to make Mango Burfi?
Heat 1 tablespoon ghee in a medium-size non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add ¼ cup cashew nuts and ¼ cup almonds and fry until slightly browned (3-4 minutes). Remove the skillet from heat and let the nuts cool down. Transfer the roasted and cooled nuts to a grinder and grind to make a powder. Add 2 cups of mango puree to the same skillet. Add ½ cup granulated sugar, ½ cup milk powder, ¼ cup desiccated coconut, and ½ teaspoon cardamom powder to the skillet and mix everything well using a spatula. Cook on medium flame until the mixture parts to leave the sides of the skillet (10-12 minutes). Keep stirring frequently while cooking. Grease a 6-inch baking pan with ghee. Transfer the mixture into the greased pan and spread evenly using a silicon spatula. Garnish with silver foil. Keep the pan on the counter for an hour to set the burfi. Cut into small pieces and serve.
Storage Suggestions
You can store Mango Burfi in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It stays good for 3 to 4 days. Make sure to seal the container properly after every use, otherwise, the burfi tends to become a little dry.
