- Pour the milk powder burfi mixture in the greased tray and evenly spread it with the help of a spatula or the back of a spoon.
- Garnish with some chopped almonds and pistachios and gently press them inside with a spatula.
- Let it set for an hour before cutting them into square shapes.

Recipe Notes
- While making the instant milk powder burfi make sure the flame is not very high as this mixture might stick to the pan.
- Cook the barfi mixture till it forms into a ball like structure, else it wont set properly and will become sticky.
- Always sieve the powdered sugar to avoid lumps and to get a smooth texture.

Whenever I use milk powder in a burfi it becomes chewy. Can you pl advise how to repair it.
Hi Monica,
The barfi will become chewy if you overcook it and it will sticky to your teeth if you undercook it. Make sure you follow the steps and cook till it gets a soft ball type structure.
Aarti 🙂
