Rava Burfi Recipe | Suji Barfi Recipe | Sooji Ki Katli with step-by-step photo and video recipe. Traditional barfi recipes are either prepared from powdered dry fruits/nuts or with a combination of flours. But rava barfi or suji burfi is a new variant that is prepared very similar to suji ladoo which is later shaped into square or diamond solids. It can be an ideal and economical sweet for any occasion and celebration.

As I mentioned previously, a recipe for rava burfi or sooji barfi is extremely simple. The recipe for this barfi is very similar to the traditional suji ladoo. I have also added milk powder and dry coconut for rich flavour and texture. Semolina by itself would not give much flavour, hence adding coconut and milk powder will enhance. Moreover, it also adds moistness to the barfi. Having said that coconut grate is not mandatory and can be filled with other alternatives. You may use common ingredients used as fill, plain flour, besan flour, or even milk powder to solve the purpose.

Furthermore some important tips and recommendations to this exotic rava burfi recipe. Firstly, I have used medium-sized Upma rava or Bombay rava for this recipe and I recommend the same for this barfi. I have not tried with fine rava but it should be alright but certainly not the thick semolina. Secondly, the barfi can be made more attractive by adding food colors especially yellow or red, or perhaps mixing. Moreover, you can also add kesar for the orange color. Soaking the kesar strands in hot water should yield more dark color. Lastly, I like it when served chilled but can be served both warm or chilled.

Notes

• Firstly, you can add mawa in place of milk powder for rich flavour.
• Also, the burfi can be prepared with jaggery instead of sugar if you are looking for a healthy alternative.
• Additionally, if you over cook the mixture then the burfi will turn hard, and if it is undercooked the burfi will be chewy.
• Finally, Rava Burfi Recipe tastes great with coconut flavour in it.
