Great recipe. As usual I modified like I do with almost every recipe I try. I added and stirred in quite a bit of dry fruit before adding condensed milk (raisins, almonds, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds etc). Did not use sugar but added a tbs Honey to make it soft as my extra ingredients were making it too dry. Net result, amazing. Thanks for the recipe. Will be used quite often. Easy and taste to die for.

Besan Burfi or Besan ki Barfi is an Indian dessert made with gram flour, ghee, and sugar syrup and is laced with aromatic cardamom and saffron. These golden-hued squares are often made during festivals and special occasions--favored for their taste, as well as, their visual appeal on a pretty dessert tray.
Condensed milk is typically added to thicken the dessert – especially milk-based ones. A thicker consistency would therefore be preferable. Nestle Milkmaid has a much thicker consistency in comparison to Amul's Mithai Mate. The folds of condensed milk that Milkmaid formed were much thicker.
By the turn of the 20th century, quite a few brands of sweetened and unsweetened condensed milk existed in the Indian market. But the one brand that became the synonym for condensed milk was Milkmaid.
It is easy enough to make and being able to judge when exactly to pour the burfi mixture onto the greased tin/ plate is critical. If the mixture is not thickened enough at this point, the result will be a chewy burfi which doesn't quite set. If the mixture is overcooked, then the burfi becomes dry and a bit hard.
There are two reason for this, either it is not completely cooked or you had put that burfi mixture on flame while cooking for more than the required time after adding sugar into it.
Gram flour, also known as chickpea flour or besan, is a source of protein and fiber, which can help with weight loss by keeping you feeling full and satisfied. However, barfi is a sweet treat typically made with sugar and ghee, which can be high in calories.
amul Thick Liquid Condensed Milk 9% Fat, Packaging Type: 280 kg. Condensed milk is cow''s milk from which water has been removed. It is most often found in the form of sweetened condensed milk (SCM), with sugaradded, and the two terms "condensed milk" and "sweetened condensed milk" are often used synonymously today.
Officially the most loved dessert in India, Gulab Jamun has a fan base of its own. The funny thing is, the base of Gulab Jamun is actually not Indian! It is said that Gulab Jamun actually originated in Persia, and Indian chefs used “khoya” instead of the original ingredients to make it their own.

Like milk, condensed milk is a good source of calcium, vitamin D, vitamin B12, vitamin A, riboflavin, phosphorus and protein. These nutrients are necessary for strong bones and teeth, a robust immune system and a healthy cardiovascular system.
Although evaporated milk and condensed milk are both shelf-stable milk products that are produced in similar ways, they're not the same. The main distinction is the addition of sugar in condensed milk, which yields a different texture and flavor profile.
Sweet and deliciously creamy, CARNATION Sweetened Condensed Milk is made from all natural ingredients. Made with just two ingredients, fresh whole milk and natural sugar, CARNATION Condensed Milk makes it quick and easy to create delicious sweet treats from creamy cheesecakes to millionaires' shortbread.
Condensed milk, also called sweetened condensed milk (there is no unsweetened condensed milk), is a concentrated milk product made by heating cow's milk at reduced pressure. The milk is heated until the water content has reduced by half, then sugar is added to bring the sugar content up to 55 percent.
Using sweetened condensed milk to boost calorie content may be more beneficial than using sugar alone since the product also provides extra protein, fat and some bone-healthy minerals like calcium and phosphorus.
