7 Cup Burfi | Seven Cup Sweet | Easy Diwali Sweet Recipe

7 Cup Burfi | Seven Cup Sweet | 7 Cup Cake is very  easy to make sweet recipe; need not worry about sugar syrup consistency for this burfi.   The ingredients used in this recipe measure about  7 cups and hence it has got the name.

Here is the recipe.

Ingredients:

• Besan flour | Bengal gram flour – 1 cup
• Sugar – 3 cups
• Coconut  gratings – 1 cup
• Milk – 1 cup
• Ghee – 1 cup + 2 tsp

Method:

1. In a heavy bottomed kadai, mix all the above ingredients without any lumps.
2. Grease a burfi plate with ghee and keep it ready.
3. Place the kadai on a stove,  cook the mixture for about 15 minutes, in medium flame by stirring often so that the mixture doesn’t stick to the bottom.
4. Then keep the flame to low and keep on stirring. In the next 5 – 10 minutes,  the mixture starts pulling away from the sides of the pan. When  the mixture becomes thick enough and gets the burfi consistency, transfer this to the greased plate.
5. When the mixture is slightly warm, mark the pieces with greased, sharp knife | pizza cutter.
6. When it is cool, cut the burfis along the marked lines.

Super tasty 7 Cup Burfi is ready to enjoy for this Diwali!

Note:

• After the sugar dissolves completely, you should not stop stirring the mixture; otherwise it will get stuck to the bottom.
• You should pour the burfi mixture only when it is thick. If you transfer it before, it will be chewy like halwa.
• I have used only 2 ½  cups of sugar but the actual recipe calls for 3 cups. You can do it either way as per your choice.

Kadalai Maavu Chutney | Besan Flour Chutney | Bombay Chutney

Kadalai Maavu Chutney | Besan Flour Chutney | Bombay Chutney is very easy to prepare and comes handy when we don’t have ingredients other than onion & tomato  at home or have very little time to cook. I love to have this chutney with hot, steaming idlies even though  it goes well with dosa, chapathi, roti, poori, etc. My mom is an expert in making this chutney and I remember those days when we sat together and had this chutney with thick pizza-like dosa (but soft!)!

Here is my mom's recipe.

Ingredients:

• Bengal gram flour | Besan flour | Kadalai maavu  - 2 tbsp
• Onion (finely chopped) – 1 No.
• Tomato (finely chopped) – 1 No.
• Red chilli powder – 1 tbsp
• Cilantro | Coriander leaves – 1 tbsp
• Salt to taste

For seasoning:

Oil – 1 tbsp

Cinnamon – 1 “ stick

Fennel seeds – 1 tbsp

Method:

1. Heat oil in a kadai and season with cinnamon stick & fennel seeds.
2. Add finely chopped onion and fry till it becomes translucent.
3. Add tomato and sauté until it becomes mushy.
4. Now add besan flour and fry in simmer until the raw smell of besan goes off. Ensure that the flour doesn’t form lumps.
5. Then add 2 cups of water and salt. Bring it to a boil.
6. When the besan flour gets cooked, switch off, garnish with coriander leaves and transfer to a serving bowl.

Your tasty Bombay Chutney is ready to serve! As I said, it goes well with soft idlies, spongy dosas, rotis, etc.

Note:

• Care should be taken while frying the flour in oil i.e. the raw smell of the flour should go off, the flour must not form lumps and it must not get burnt.
