Chocolate Maida Burfi/Maida Barfi

Chocolate Maida Burfi/Maida Barfi

 This is one recipe which is made in my Granny house quite often. I am the only person who eats this sweet in my house.My mom and Bro are not a great fan of this sweet.

So for this diwali I wanted to make this by myself. So asked the recipe from mom and made it. It was quite easy to make. My youngest BIL liked it a lot.

This sweet has 2 layers. The first one is Maida and the second is the Chocolate layer.



Ingredients

For 1st Layer:
Maida - 1/2 Cup
Sugar - 1 Cup
Ghee - 1/4 Cup
Water - 1/2 Cup

For 2nd Layer:
Maida - 1/2 Cup
Sugar - 1 Cup
Ghee - 1/4 Cup
Cocoa Powder - 3/4 Tablespoon
Water - 1/2 Cup

Method

Grease a tray and keep it ready.

First Layer

In a pan, heat ghee till it is hot. Once the Ghee is hot, add the Maida and saute it quickly. Do it till the raw flaour of the maida is completely gone.

In another pan, add sugar and 1/2 cup of water. Boil until one string consistency is formed.Getting the sugar syrup right is key to this recipe.


One string consistency is when when you keep the sugar syrup between your fore finger and thumb a string will form. If you are not used to this, wet your fingers between you touch the sugar syrup. For me it takes about 8 - 10 minutes to get this single string consistency.

The next steps are to done off the flame.Now remove the sugar syrup from the heat and add the roasted maida to this and stir this continuously. Stir it till it becomes thick. Lets say Idli batter consistency. Pour the mixture into the greased tray. Leave it using a flat knife or spoon.

Second Layer

Now lets repeat the same process for the second layer.

Heat the Ghee, add maida and saute. Add the cocoa Powder once you remove the Maida from the heat.

In another pan, add sugar and 1/2 cup of water. Boil until one string consistency is formed.Getting the sugar syrup right is key to this recipe.

The next steps are to done off the flame.Now remove the sugar syrup from the heat and add the roasted maida to this and stir this continuously. Stir it till it becomes thick. Lets say Idli batter consistency. Pour this on top of the first layer. Leave it using a flat knife or spoon.

When the mixture is warm, make marking in the mixture and allow it to set.

Let it set for some time and cut into desired shape.
