Burfi reminds me of the Bollywood number Ala Ala Mathwala Burfi……Brfiii.Today was indeed a Burfi day.I tried Vanilla Burfi,Chocolate and Vanilla/Duet burfi and Gulabi Burfi.After many failures in the burfi making, today I got confidence in preparing the same.I exactly understood the meaning of ONE STRING CONSISTENCY,I could even capture the picture of it.Feels so good.Vanilla is always my favourite flavour. I also tried other flavours of burfi so that I could learn perfectly.Tomorrow,October 30th, is our wedding anniversary and I thought of distributing the same to my loving ones.My better half tasted it and said the sugar could have been little reduced.But I felt it was fine.I dedicate this post to my wonderful husband who held my hands for so many years with both bumpy and smooth rides đ .
