Easy Red Lentil Fudge/ Indian style Burfi
Today is a very popular festival in India-Raksha Bandhan. For this festival, let's make a super delicious, melt in mouth Easy Red Lentil Fudge/Indian Style Burfi.Desserts are the highlight of any Indian festival.No indian festival is complete without a touch of sweets.Normally making Burfi is a tedious process where milk is reduced till it thickens. In this easy Indian style homemade Burfi, I have used Red Lentil, known as Masoor Dal in Hindi and it is ready in 15 minutes from start to end.And to turn this into a Vegan dessert, replace Ghee or clarified butter with Coconut Oil and use Plant based milk in place of Dairy Milk.
Ingredients
- ½ cup Red Lentil or Masoor Dal. Dry grind to a fine powder.
- ½ cup Grated fresh coconut.
- ½ cup Ghee or clarified butter. Use Coconut Oil for vegan Option.
- ½ cup Milk. Use Plant based milk for vegan option.
- 1½ cup Jaggery. Can use unrefined brown sugar.
- 1 tbsp Roasted Poppy Seeds.
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a wide mouthed Pan.Stir and mix well.
- Turn on flame and keep the Pan on flame.
- Keep stirring till everything thickens and starts leaving side of Pan.
- To check if Burfi is cooked, put a drop of mixture in a small bowl filled with water. If mixture retains its shape and you can form a ball, that means the burfi is cooked and ready to be poured.
- Grease a dish with ghee or coconut oil. You can use 8x4 glass dish or any other which you have.
- Pour Burfi in the greased pan.
- Sprinkle roasted Poppy seeds on top and press gently.
- Cut into squares of desired size. This ratio of ingredients will give you about 12 big burfis or 15 medium sized burfis.
- Enjoy this melt in mouth dessert on this festival day !
