How to Make Chana Dal Burfi

Ingredients of Chana Dal Burfi :

• 1 1/4 cup chana dal

• 2 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon powdered green cardamom
• 6 tablespoon ghee
• 6 tablespoon sugar
• 4 tablespoon raisins
• water as required
• 1 tablespoon raisins

How to Make Chana Dal Burfi :

1. To begin with, using a clean chopping board chop raisins and keep them aside until needed again. Wash and clean the chana dal and transfer it in a bowl. Add enough water in it and leave the mixture undisturbed for 2 hours. Drain the water and keep the soaked dal aside until needed again.
2. In a mixer jar add the soaked chana dal and grind it into a paste. Keep the paste aside until needed again.
3. Put a deep-bottomed pan on low flame and heat ghee in it. Then add the prepared chana dal paste in it. Mix and cook the mixture for 10 minutes using a spatula.
4. In this mixture add milk followed by raisins and hot water. Increase the flame to high while stirring the mixture simultaneously.
5. Next add cardamom powder, sugar and saffron strands in the chana dal-milk mixture. Stir continuously and allow the mixture to be cooked for 5 minutes.
6. Meanwhile brush a plate (or tray) with butter and evenly pour the prepared mixture in it. Top it up with flaked almonds/raisins and gently flatten the mixture with a spoon.
7. Using a clean knife, cut the mixture into desired shape. Allow the burfi to settle for another 60 minutes.
