Notes
* All the cup measurements mentioned here, and anywhere in my blog, are all standard US Cup measurements.
* You can call this a hassle-free burfi. Even if the required consistency is not reached, it is repairable, will not go waste.
*If it seems to be a bit fudgy and chewy,even after pouring on to the greased tray, it can be put back into the pan, and stirred for 5 more minutes.
*If it becomes too hard, it can be pulsed in the blender to powder, then add 1/2 cup milk to it, keep on stirring, till the right consistency arrives.
* Bournvita is a malt based drink mixed with Cocoa. So, incase if bournvita is not available, you can use any such drink.
Am making this for Deewali! Thanks. Love how easy it is.
