HOW TO MAKE OR PREPARE MAIDA BURFI RECIPE
Sieve the maida flour to remove lumps if any. Grease a plate or tray with ghee and keep it ready.
Heat ghee in a pan. Add the maida and roast for 6-7 minutes on a low flame, till you have a good aroma.
Set it aside. Take a heavy bottomed pan or kadai. Add 1/2 cup of water and 1 cup of sugar and allow it to boil.
Mix well and cook till it reaches a 1 string consistency. One string consistency is when a thin string of sugar syrum is formed when you hold between your fore finger and thumb.
Here you can see a one string consistency from a ladle. Once the one string consistency is reached, add the food colour and vanilla essence and give a quick mix. Switch off the flame.
Add the roasted maida and keep stirring continuously for 4-5 minutes using a spatula.
Within few minutes, the mixture comes together and leaves the sides of the pan. At this stage, pour the mixture to the greased plate and smoothen the top with the help of a spatula. Allow it to cool down.
When the mixture is still warm, cut it into desired shapes. Once cooled down, store the burfis in an airtight container.
Yummy maida burfi is ready to be served.
