The maida burfi made from sugar syrup has chewy texture whereas this maida burfi has melt in your mouth texture just like besan ladoo or moong dal ladoo. Personally I like this burfi more than the burfi made with sugar syrup because of its texture !! Ok, before moving to the recipe, let's check out the FAQs !!
What is Maida Burfi / Halkova ?
A delicious fudge made from maida/all purpose flour, ghee and sugar.
What are the other flavors I can use in this burfi?
Apart from cardamom and rose flavor, the vanilla and pistachio flavors also taste good.
Can I reduce the amount of ghee ?
No, the burfi needs the mentioned amount of ghee for melt in your mouth texture.
Any substitute for ghee?
Commercially, vanaspati/dalda/shortening is used in this recipe,so ghee is the best alternative already !
Any tips for beginners ?
- Make sure to let the roasted maida cool down(it's so important) completely before adding sugar. Otherwise the whole mixture would become watery and unable to set.
- Make sure to roasted the flour well otherwise it tastes raw
- This is one of the recipes that you have to follow the measurements religiously. That's the key to get a perfect and tasty burfi.
- If you're a beginner, then I would recommend trying this burfi with a single flavor on the first try. It would be a lot easier.

Rose essence - a few drop(optional)

It takes around 8-10 mins. Remove from the flame and let it cool completely(this is so important). If you're going for two flavors, then divide the dough into two equal parts.
Keep one part of the dough aside. And in the remaining dough, add 1/4 cup of sugar and the cardamom powder.
To the other part of the dough, add the sugar, rose essence and pink food color. Mix it well together until all comes together.
Let it set aside until it's firm to touch(For faster setting, keep it in refrigerator for 30 mins). Then slice into desired size as you like.
