This recipe looks absolutely wonderful. I was wondering what I can take to my cousins house after they gave me so much Diwali food, but I think this will be a wonderful gift for them.
What size baking tray did you use? In the video it looks really small. Speaking of video, your videos recently seem much clearer visually…..good job.
Thank and Happy Diwali to both of you and your families.

Hi Pinal,
We used a pan that was about 7″ X 9″ and it made about 25-30 average size pcs.
Regarding the videos, we are so glad people are noticing that…thank you!
As always, thanks for your support and we wish you and your family all the best for the season as well.

I made this burfi over the weekend and it was simply delicious. The burfi looked store bought and guests were amazed.
Only thing I will say is that when making the first layer, burfi would not solidify so the chocolate layer went right thru the center. I would recommend that after your first layer is done, freeze it for a little while. You can warm up the remaining mixture and add the chocolate and cocoa powder once you’re ready for the second layer. After you’re done, I recommend putting it in the freeze for few hours for easier cutting.
Over all, excellent recipe, great taste and presentation!

If you live in a cold place, it’ll solidify on the counter but we are always in a rush…so just put it in the frige for a couple of hours and it’s ready to cut!
Happy Diwali!

Hi
My mum loved your recipe and shes eager to try it out.
She was just concerned about one thing which is:
Instead of chocolate chips can you making chocolate (cooking chocolate) and break them into peices for the chocolate topping?
Thanks

Hi Priya,
Ours is 1.55 Kw. But we did mention what you should look for as an indication to see when it is done. It needs to fluff up and fold it or cave in. At that point, stop cooking.
Hope that helps and Happy Diwali!

Hi Shivani,
Mava is full fat and we use non-fat milk powder and in some of the previos recipes where some viewrs tried to switch, it did not work. We, ourselves have never done that so really don’t know what advice to give you.
If you do decide to do that, pl. do let us know the outcome.
Sorry, for not being much help!

Heavy Whipping Cream is the fat from the milk and Rabdi is milk boiled down…they are 2 different products. In all honesty, we have never tried and don’t know if it will work!

Anuja di,
Sorry for filling ur page with my comments & queries.
yest i went and got all ingredients. I just had milk powder. And i presumed that u use the measuring cups that are available in US stores. i have those from dollar store. And i took 5 cups of 1 cup measurent cup…i mean that i used that which reads 1 cup..235 ml. So, i took 5 of that and for sugar, i took 1 cup + 1/4 cup measurement.
Im so upset.
And need i mention abt the outcome? I better not..
And ya..i did see those gms measurements next to cups in ur video /text after i kept it in fridge.
Can u advise me which cups i can use?
Thanks,
Priya

Anuja didi,
I really dont know what to tell about the consistency of the mixture…didi. It did take more than 8 mins though..it looks granulated though and i never achieved that pouring consistency like yours when u poured it out of the MW for it to set.
Didi, have u seen those measuring cups in dollar store? Those in the kitchen section..under those laddles. In that..i took 1 cup measure cup and took 5 cups of that…i mean…5 times i put it in my milk powder packet and took the milk powder. Do u think im okay or am i making a wrong measurement?

RKB Reply:
October 30th, 2009 at 4:41 pm
Hi Priya and Anuja,
So in retrospect, 4 cups of milk powder (which would have made it closer to 360 grams) would’ve been perfect.
I think similar thing happened to me. I used 5 cups (8 oz cup size) non-fat milk powder (Brand:White rose) and 1 pint heavy cream. The problem is 5 cups did not equal to 365 gm(which you mentioned in your recipe), it was ~450 grams (I used 5 small packets of milk powder, each ~90 grams). And the consistency, as Priya mentions, was quite thick, and it did not flow at all. It never quite rose and folded in. It was more like a loose dough. And it was getting drier with every extra minute in the microwave, so I still went ahead and set it to cool. And thankfully the barfis are not too bad, just extra flaky. Maybe not good enough to gift, but good enough to eat.
Anyway, thanks for quick and easy the recipe!

Hey Anuja:
For the dry milk powder, did u mean 40 oz(considering 1 cup = 8 oz). If that is the case, then it will be more than 365gms isnt it? because a 12 oz pack is coming to 340gms.
please let me know.
Thanks..

Hi Madhu,
When we say 5 cups, it’s volume and not weight. We do that because we know a lot of people do not have weighing scales at home.
So you need 40 oz of milk powder in volume and what is written on the box is by weight.
Hope that clears any doubt!

But see, all milk powder brands are not the same in density. For me (Brand: White Rose) 5 cups by volume came to 450 grams in weight. So 4 cups would’ve been closer to 365 grams.
The barfi was still edible so thanks anyway for your simple and superquick recipe!

You need heavy whipping cream, not whipped cream. Not sure where you live, but our local grocery store carries the cardboard cartons of heavy whipping cream (in the liquid form) in the dairy case (with milk, half and half, etc). Hope you can find it.

Hey Hetalbhen,
This recipe was a hit!!!! I made two batches in the last 5 days! Only thing I would suggest is to make sure you let it chill in the fridge for a 5 to 6 hours to make sure it is firm when you cutup pieces! (Major brownie points with the aunts this weekend =0)

I tried your resmalai with home made paneer. It tured out really awesome.
Can you show us how to make SOFT rasmalai using cottage cheese or ricotta cheese? I tried rasmalai using these cheese. It tured out either hard or rubbery.
Thanks

Hi Anuja & Hetal,
I tried making the burfi yesterday but IT WAS A DISASTER ! I was soooooooooo upset….I wish I could get the kind of consistency your showing in the video. My measurements were all exactly the same as yours. I used 5 cups of instant skim milk powder and 473 ml of heavy whipping cream. My measuring cup is the one that I bought from Walmart…ok..this was my result….
((…plz tell me what went wrong….but only good thing was that …the taste was awesome..:)
1. I didn’t at all get the pouring consitency like yours…
2. By every minute in the microwave my mixture was getting thicker & thicker
3. As you suggested the mixture did not fluff up and fold in

Hi Vrinda,
Sorry to hear about your disaster:(
We guess that either the Instant Dry milk is different and that is causing issues or that the microwave is cooking at a different temperature…
We have used the Walmart brand of Dry Milk and Whipping cream, you can try that next time and atleast we will know that those are not the problem areas.
Let us know the feedback once you give it another shot! Hopefully we will find a solution!

Hi Hetal & Anuja,
Tried this one and it came out very good although i had to put it in the MW for 11 mins and it was a little granulated but it was good and i had some silve foil i got from india which i put on top of it and the result was just amazing!
Thanks a lot for all your fabulous recipes. also tried your kadhai chicken and it was also very good.
Bye

You will not get the same consistency with regular milk.

Hi Hetal and Anuja,
The burfis came out AWESOME! I used Walmart brand milk powder and heavy whipping cream. Didn’t do the chocolate version. The first batch I did, I added lime green coloring.
For the second batch, which I did a day later, I very absent-mindedly added regular granulated sugar (not very big granules) instead, but also added rose essence and pink coloring. the pieces actually were so easy to cut!
I have frozen them for use in a week’s time. Hopefully they’s retain the texture/taste after thawing…
Thanks again!

Did you use unsweetened chocolate or semi-sweet? Is the cream 35%M.F.? The one I have says 35%M.F whipping cream in a carton. Should I use the powder milk by cups or weight, i have read some problems with that.thank you,

Hi Hetal, Anuja,
I had your chocolate burfi at a friend’s place and loved it. She referred me to your website and I enjoyed watching the video as well. I tried making your recipe with half the quantities, but I didn’t get the exact same result as my friend’s. It was flaky and not easy to cut, but the taste was good. Will try once more with the exact amount of ingredients. My question for you is, my husband does not like chocolate, so I’d like to make it in some other flavor, do you recommend any other layer than chocolate. Can I add mango puree to it? or ground pistachios, or any other flavors. Waiting for your suggestion. Thank you…the recipes are awesome. Our whole family enjoys watching your videos, especially my 6 year old daughter who finds it quite entertaining and says its better than Food Network!
Waiting for your reply. Thanks again.

Hi Anju and Hetal,
First time to comment here. You have an awesome website. I tried the chocolate burfi last night and it came out very good. Initially, I was kind of doubtful to try it as a few of your readers had some trouble in getting the final output. However, I trusted your instructions and followed it exactly. The final product turned out exactly like yours. I will be serving this for my New Year eve party. Will keep you posted on the feeback my friends would give.
Thanks again for the wonderful recipe. I would highly recommend this to anyone.
