7 cup barfi recipe | 7 cup cake | seven cup burfi | seven cup burfi with detailed photo and video recipe. a classic south indian dessert recipe made with 7 cups of ingredients. it is a popular south indian dessert recipe which is generally made during the festival season to share with family and friends. the texture and colour are very similar to mysore pak or milk cake, yet it has its own unique taste and flavour.
i had posted this recipe during my early stage of blogging. but as part of my revisiting my old recipe, i am posting the better version of 7 cup barfi recipe. the main difference as such is the texture of the barfi. in my previous version, i had posted the 7 cup burfi with harder version. i got much feedback about the same and i thought of sharing a moist version. having said that i have not increased or decreased any ingredient quantity. but i have introduced 2 changes. first one is the stirring. i have continuously stirred the mixture throughout the recipe and the other one is cooking time. i have reduced the cooking time in this process which should help to retain the moist level.
anyway, i would like to highlight some tips, suggestions and variations for a moist 7 cup barfi recipe. firstly, you may think that you have to use 7 full cup of each ingredient to make this dessert. it is recommended to use a full cup, but you can also reduce the quantity, for instance, half cup each. secondly, it might be overwhelming to continuously stir it, till it reaches desired consistency. but it is unavoidable and you need to be patient about it. lastly, the shelf life of this sweet is moderate and it last longs for a week. having said that it would dry it and it may lose its moistness.
