Kesar Mawa Burfi Recipe | Kesar Milk Powder Burfi | Kesar Burfi Recipe | Easy Holi Sweet Recipe

Wishing Everyone a Happy Holi. On this special occasion, I am sharing a simple and easy to make burfi Instanly using Mawa Powder or Milk Powder & Kesar/Saffron. This is a rich and delicious burfi with two layers, one is plain burfil & the other one is Kesar Burfi, that is burfi flavored with Saffron or kesar. I have one more reason to share a sweet recipe with my friends & readers. The reason is, 10 of my Broccoli Recipes published in this month edition, March Month's Aval Kitchen Magazine. My sincere thanks to Aval Kitchen team for featuring my recipes in their magazine. This is the first time my recipes published in Magazines and I am so happy and excited on seeing the magazine pages with my own pictures and recipes. Thanks to my family, friends & readers for the constant support and encouragement.

Now coming to Kesar Mawa Burfi, I referred this recipe and tried it using Milk Mawa Powder/Dried Mawa or Khoya. IF you don't get mawa or khoya in your place you can very well use Milk Powder. I also reduced the butter amount, the burfis turned out good. I don't have patience to give the setting time for burfis and cut them within few minutes. So the plain mawa layers messed up with kesar and the layers aren't perfect. But taste wise it was so delicious and flavorful with kesar.
