Hola people, welcome aboard the #PhatakaBlogTrain where we are celebrating Diwali. The firecracker train has moved from Amrita’s station to my food blog today! Amrita is a super lady – doctor, blogger, mom and she even teaches at the Medical College.  Thank you Amrita for arriving at my station and I am eagerly waiting with an easy caramel and chocolate burfi recipe – something that you can make this Diwali for family and friends.

What do you need for this chocolate burfi recipe?

This layered chocolate burfi recipe is made with milk solids – khova kheer as we call it in Hindi or Bengali. You can make that at home but that’s a pretty tiresome lengthy process. These days you get everything readymade at any good supermarket, so why put so much energy on something that is readily available? I am using a readymade khova kheer for this caramel and chocolate burfi recipe. If you are in Kolkata, you will find khova in local sweet shops, in Bangalore we get packaged khova by various brands selling dairy products. the ones that you get in local sweet shops are much lighter in color, almost white. The ones we get here in package is a darker yellowish variant. I am using the later.

Apart from khova the other two simple ingredients are sugar and cocoa powder – very easily available at any kitchen. I am also adding some cardamom powder to bring out some aroma, and chopped nuts for garnishing.

How to make caramel chocolate burfi?

 It is very important that you remember two tips for this chocolate burfi recipe.  

1. The khova kheer needs to be in room temperature before you start cooking else it will take ages to cook.
2. Cook on low heat only – khova can burn and get dark in no time
3. Use nonstick pan to avoid khova sticking to the bottom or burning

Grate khova kheer that is in room temperature. Khova while packaged and refrigerated is like stone, so bring it to room temperature to make it workable.

Add khova in a nonstick pan and let it soften up in low heat. I have kept 100C on Induction cooker throughout.

Once warm add sugar, cardamom powder and stir constantly till sugar melts

The khova will start looking like suji halva! Keep stirring this mixture.

While the sugar melts the khova will get the  wonderful caramel color

Cook for another 5 minutes or till it starts leaving the pan and become thicker.

Divide the dough into two parts.

Place one half of the dough on a greased surface and spread with hands or back of spatula while its warm.

Let it rest.

Mix the second half of the cooked khova mix with cocoa powder in low heat.

Once mixed spread it on top of the white layer.

Sprinkle chopped nuts from top

Let it rest in the refrigerator for 15-20 mins.

Cut it in desired shapes and serve to guests.

Hope you enjoyed this twist in the traditional burfi recipe. There’s going to a lot of fun in October when the Blog Train #PhatakaBlogTrain visits stations!
