7 cups burfi is a popular South Indian sweet that can be prepared for any festive occasions or religious functions.

The burfi got its name from the measurement of the ingredients used to make the burfi. Here, we use a single measurement of besan, milk and grated coconut and twice the measurement of ghee and sugar. Hence, the name seven cups sweet. However, if you've got a sweet tooth, then you can increase the quantity of sugar accordingly.

3. Add sugar and grated coconut.

4. Add milk and ghee in the pan.

14. Cut it into vertical strips.

15. Then, cut them horizontally to get square pieces.

Instructions

1. The greasing of the plate is done first because the burfi must be laid to set immediately after cooking.
2. The grated coconut must be fine and not chunky. You can also use coconut powder.
3. You can fry the besan slightly before adding the other ingredients.
4. Note that the ghee and sugar are twice the amount of the other ingredients.
5. Make a note that the burfi can be stored in an air-tight jar and preserved for almost a month.
