7 Cups

When I got married and moved to the US, my cooking experience was almost null to the extend even my dad commented that i could only cook "water". My amma, the best cook in the world came up  with a plan and wrote me a book herself which had most of the recipes that we make at home. So when i decided to write the blog, I thought why not start off with a simple recipe from that book itself, which amma used to make when i was a kid. The recipe is 7 CUPS and it got the name because only 7 cups of ingredients are used in this. This is a variation of a Burfi and can even be called 7 Cup Besan Burfi .

Ingredients

Scraped coconut - 1 cup
Ghee / Clarified Butter - 1 cup
Milk - 1 cup
Besan / Chickpea Flour - 1 cup
Sugar - 3 cups
So, when you add up the quantities you get the recipe name itself.

Method

Mix all the ingredients together in a non stick or a heavy bottom saucepan and cook in a medium flame.

Stir continuously until the mixture starts leaving the sides of the pan and becomes like a dough.

Brush ghee onto a plate and transfer the mixture to it.
Smoothen the surface to quarter an inch thick.

Allow the mixture to cool for 20 minutes and then cut into any shape u like or even roll them up.
Cool to room temperature and store in airtight containers.
