Notes

  • Firstly, make sure to stir and boil the milk to prevent it from burning.
  • Do not add too much of lemon, as the milk will turn into paneer then. We just need a grainy texture.
  • Also, adjust the amount of sugar to your preferences.
  • Finally, Mawa Burfi Recipe tastes great when flavored with cardamom powder and ghee.
