Three ways of making Burfi this Diwali
We haven't met a person who doesn't enjoy Burfi, and we doubt we ever will...
Diwali is approaching, and Hindus are busy preparing for the festival of lights. In addition to getting their homes ready for the auspicious festival, many families begin baking.
From Burfi to Gulab Jamun, kids and adults alike are spoilt for choice.
Over the years, many Hindus have adapted their recipes. While some still use their grandmother's tried-and-tested method of making their favourite sweetmeat, others are opting for the easier approach.
Either way is just right because everyone has their way of making Burfi, but we wanted to share a few ways with you from some of these seasoned South African Indian foodies.
First, we saw Lorraine from Tamarind and Thyme and her version, which seemed simple enough.

Then we saw Priyanka from Inspired by Pri's Food, and her version required leaving the Burfi and butter mix to stand overnight and blitzing the mixture to get it extra smooth.
