- Mix well or sieve it well, set aside.
- In the same pan add sugar. I used brown sugar here. Add water to it let it boil in medium flame.
- When it starts to thicken and bubble up well, check for single thread consistency. When a thin string consistency is reached immediately add the flour cocoa mixture.
- Mix well , act quickly keep stirring to avoid lumps. In 2 mins the batter will become thick, add ghee at this stage. The mixture will be thickish like idli batter consistency.
- Mix well and switch off. Immediately transfer to ghee greased tray.
- Sprinkle chopped nuts on it. Slightly press it. Leave it to set for 10 mins then mark pieces with a knife then carefully separate the pieces and store. Of course few to enjoy instantly then store 🙂
- Millet Burfi keeps well in room temperature itself for about a week.
Notes
- If you miss the consistency then it may turn our hard.
- If you add the flour before the single thread consistency then it will be like chewy halwa so keep a close eye on the consistency.
- You can sprinkle any nuts of your choice.
- You can use white sugar if you wish to. I haven't tried with cane sugar so not sure about the result.
