rava burfi recipe | suji barfi recipe | sooji ka barfi recipe with detailed photo and video recipe. a simple semolina based sweet confectionery or a dense fudge recipe prepared with rava/sooji and cashew powder. barfi is a common indian sweet or mithai recipe and often prepared with nuts or combination of dry fruits mixed with sugar and later shaped into square or diamond shape. rava burfi is one such unique recipe which can be prepared within minutes without much hassle.
as i mentioned previously, a recipe for rava burfi or sooji barfi is extremely simple. as a matter of fact, the recipe for this barfi is very similar to the traditional sooji halwa or sheera recipe. the only difference i have introduced in this recipe compared to the traditional one is by adding cashew powder to semolina. semolina by itself would not attain any particular shape and hence the adulteration with powdered cashews. moreover, it also adds up nice flavour and taste to the barfi’s. having said that cashews powder is not mandatory and can be filled with other alternatives. the other common ingredients used as fill are, plain flour, besan flour or even milk powder should solve the purpose.
furthermore some important tips and recommendations to this exotic rava burfi recipe. firstly, i have used medium size or upma rava or bombay rava for this recipe and i recommend the same for this barfi. i personally have not tried with fine rava but it should be alright but certainly no to thick semolina. secondly, the barfi’s can be made more attractive by adding food colors especially the yellow or red or perhaps mixing together. moreover, you can also add kesar for the orange colour. soaking the kesar strands in a hot water should yield more dark colour. lastly, i personally like it when served chilled but can be served both warm or chilled.
