Besan is a perfect ingredient for so many delicious sweet dishes and has always been my personal favorite. Be it Mysore Pak or Seven-cups burfi or Besan Chakki, all of them look almost the same yet have a distinct flavor of their own. Besan Chakki or Besan Burfi is a very common North Indian sweet dish which can be made with several variations to it. You could make it richer by adding dry fruits to it or just enjoy the goodness of besan as is.
My husband has been pestering me for this sweet but I never really got to actually make it for him all this while. Finally, he had to ask his mom to satisfy his craving and she so-ever willingly made this last week to see it disappear in a few days.



Ingredients –

1 cup Besan (Gram Flour)
1 cup Sugar
¼ cup Ghee
½ cup khoya (khova)
1/2 cup Water

Method of Preparation –

Heat ghee in a wide bottomed pan, and roast the Besan on medium heat till the raw smell of besan disappears and it turns a light golden color.

Add the khova/khoya to it and mix it well to remove any lumps in it.

Meanwhile, take sugar in a separate bowl, add about ½ cup of water to it and boil it for about 7-8 mins or till it reaches a thick 2-string consistency.

Slowly, add the Besan-Khova mixture to the sugar syrup and keep stirring it continuously till it forms one big mass and the ghee oozes out of the mixture.

Spread it onto a greased plate and cut it into pieces before it cools down and enjoy.

Note - Instead of greasing a plate, I found pouring the mixture on a parchment/wax paper lined plate better and easier to manage!
