barfi recipes are very common in my house and i prepare it more any occasion, festivals and even for potluck parties. generally i prepare the milk based burfi with khoya or mawa, but whenever i am short of time, i prepare milk powder barfi. in addition i personally feel this is one of the simplest barfi recipes compared to those which are based on sugar syrups. the most common question i get from my readers about the sugar syrup and its string consistency. the good news is, milk powder burfi recipe does not use sugar syrup and can be prepared by naive chef too.
furthermore, some important tips and suggestions for a soft and moist milk powder burfi recipe. firstly, the same recipe can be prepared with condensed milk or even evaporated milk. if condensed milk is used, do not add any extra sugar and you can check my kesar milk peda for detailed recipe. secondly, always use low flame to cook while stirring continuously. otherwise the milk solid can stick to bottom and can change its colour. lastly, do not cook further once the milk solids forms a lump. if it is cooked further, it would turn chewy.

Hi, I made this twice today and it tastes delicious however both times it came out sticky, the first time I cooked it for over 10 minutes as it just didn’t form into the dough as shown in the picture. The second time I cooked for less time just in case I over cooked it, but it turned out the same. What could I possibly be doing wrong?
it also depends on quality of milk powder… make sure to fresh full cream milk powder.
