I haven't tasted this burfi before. When a friend of mine has asked about this sweet which is available in Bangalore, I started browsing for recipes. There was a single recipe in various food sites and so I bookmarked that recipe. I tried it yesterday. As there was milk in the recipe, it came out so soft. But I don't know whether I can call it burfi. This is a super rich sweet with almonds, saffron and condensed milk. It tastes so delicious and is perfect for festivals. Today I am celebrating my birthday and this is a visual treat to all my friends out there.
