Water Chestnut Powder Burfi

Instructions

1. 1

   Heat the ghee in a non-stick pan over medium heat.

2. 2

   Add the water chestnut powder to the pan and roast it in the ghee for about 5-7 minutes until it turns golden brown and releases a nutty aroma.

3. 3

   In a separate saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Heat until the sugar dissolves completely, forming a syrup.

4. 4

   Gradually add the sugar syrup to the roasted water chestnut powder, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.

   Continue to cook the mixture on low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and starts to leave the sides of the pan.

6. 6

   Add the chopped nuts (if using) and mix well.

7. 7

   Grease a tray or plate with a little ghee and pour the mixture onto it, spreading it evenly.

8. 8

   Allow it to cool and set for about 30 minutes.

9. 9

   Once set, cut the burfi into desired shapes and serve.
