Here's an easy Diwali recipe to make at home. Diwali is almost here and I see sweets of different colours, shapes and sizes stacked in decorated boxes at Indian stores here. Though we don't celebrate Diwali, for the past few years, I've been making some kind of Diwali sweet at home. I didn't want to break the tradition this year, so…
When I make Indian sweets at home, I try to find the easiest and simplest recipes with minimal effort and ingredients. It so happened that while I was organising some stuff last month, I came across a number of Milkmaid Pamphlets which my aunt gave me years ago. The moment I saw the recipe for this burfi, I decided this will be this year's Diwali sweet.
It's one of the easiest, quickest and simplest recipe that I've tried. It's kinda foolproof and if you look at the ingredients, you'll know, it tastes great too. So if you are planning to make some last min Diwali sweet at home, this is your recipe.
Btw, you can check out other Diwali recipes here.
Some of my fav are Maladu, Rava Laddu, Kalakand and my absolute fav Boli :)
Wish you and your loved ones a very Happy Diwali! May this festive season gift you the best of everything!
