allow to set for 2 hours, or till it sets completely.now unmould and cut into pieces square or diamond or rectangle of your choice finally, serve milk powder burfi or store in airtight container.

Notes:-

firstly, prepare the burfi on low – medium flame, else the milk powder burns.top the burfi with dry fruits of our choice like Cashew Nuts to make it more attractive or you can skip it.

If you like plain burfi then don’t add saffron just add 1/2 tsp of cardamom powder,instead of screw pine essence you can add rose essence or don’t add any essence ,you can Skip it .
