Pista Burfi




3/4 cup of unsalted pistachios


2 1/2 cup whole milk


1 teaspoon rose-water


2 drops food coloring (green)


1/2 cup water


5 tablespoons light brown sugar




Method Of Preparation



In a heavy based pan, place the milk over low heat. Stir occasionally for 1 hour until the milk reduces its original volume by 1/6th. Roast the pistachio nuts and chop them. Then combine the water & sugar. Heat them to make a thick syrup. Keep covered and warm. Now add the sugar syrup, roasted pistas, rose-water and green coloring to the reduced milk. Stir until the mixture holds together without sticking to the pan. Spread the mixture in a greased tray. Let it stand for about 45 minutes to set, then cut into squares.
