How to Make Burfi A La Yamuna Indian Fudge

  1. In a heavy-bottomed pan, melt 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter over medium-low heat.
  2. Add 2 cups of whole milk and stir constantly. Heat very slowly to prevent burning; once the milk starts to boil, reduce heat to a very gentle simmer.
  3. Gradually add 2 cups of granulated sugar, stirring continuously until completely dissolved. This will take time and patience, be sure to monitor it and stir often to avoid burning.
  4. Add 1 cup of whole milk powder, continuing to stir until a smooth, thick paste forms.
  5. Stir in 1 cup of your choice of chopped nuts (e.g., pistachios, almonds, cashews).
  6. Continue to cook and stir until the mixture pulls away from the sides of the pan and forms a soft dough-like consistency. This may take 20-30 minutes depending on your stove.
  7. Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish. Pour the mixture into the dish and spread evenly.
  8. Let it cool completely at room temperature. Once set, cut into small squares.
  9. Serve and enjoy! Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
