Tastes delightful! I added saffron threads and some chopped pistachios, too. The only reason why I give this recipe 3 stars instead of 5 is because the directions are not very specific on: 1.) Time requirements on each step 2.) Measurement of nuts 3.) The fact that my burfi turned into more of a gooey fudge after setting than a solid fudge (as I have always associated burfi with from past experiences) Perhaps you can give a few guidelines on approximate times for steps 3, 4, and 8.

i must have done something wrong if everyone else is raving about this but it was awful. i followed the instructions exactly but my milk would not de lump so i ended up getting my hand blender and smoothing it out then it started burning before it got too thick and it never quite firmed up to fudge texture it was more of a grainy carmel? i have never heard of burfi brfore so maybe i just dont like it i added a pinch of cardamom too. i think it needed vanilla? anyway we each took one bite and tossed it in the garbage. it was really grainy too.
