This delicate burfi is called 7 cup burfi , because, totally 7 cups of ingredients are used in this. We can call it 7 Measure burfi too......because, we can measure the ingredients in a cup, tumbler, dabara, or a ladle , whichever suits us.

Non stick pan heated, 1 tsp ghee added, and 1 cup besan added

I switched off the stove now, and added ghee, sugar, cardamom powder, saffron and milk, switched it on now, and now our duty is to stir non stop, with lot of Shraddha and Saburi...perseverance and patience...
Mixture will be like this, there will be small lumps, don't worry, as you keep on stirring, it will become okay

Nearing final stages. When it becomes frothy around corners, and mixture starts leaving sides of the pan....
pour it immediately to a well greased plate or tray
Flatten it nicely with a greased flat bottom

Notes
* Instead of carrots, we can add 1/2 cup of soaked cashews or almonds
* We can add a mixture of everything too, by having 1/4 cup almonds, 1/4 cup cashews/ 1/4 cup coconut and 1/4 cup carrots. Choice is ours, but take care , the total must come to 7
