White Burfi Recipe | Maida Ki Barfi | Plain flour Burfi Recipe with step-by-step photo and video recipe. Yet another simple barfi recipe that is hugely popular in South India and is prepared mainly with the intention of sharing with family and friends for any family celebration. It is the most common sweet offered to the guests arriving for any family function. It is served with a combination of juicy desserts like besan laddu or Motichur ladduand some banana chips or spiced cashew nuts.

The maida burfi recipe can be prepared in many colors, textures, thicknesses, and softness. The most common one is the plain without any color with a hard and uneven surface. Most of the bakery in South India is made with different artificial colors that make them very attractive. In other words, only this barfi has the appetite to be presented in any color and shape out of all the other barfi recipes. I have presented this barfi recipe as uncomplicated and straightforward. Once the barfi is transferred to shaping mold, I have just added finely or roughly chopped dry fruits. Adding a combination of dry fruits makes it attractive and also super tasty. Do try this barfi variant during this festival season and I am sure your family would love it.

While it is one of the easiest barfi recipes, I would like to share a few tips and recommendations for the maida burfi recipe. Firstly, make sure to roast maida on low flame using ghee till it turns aromatic. Roasting helps to remove all the raw taste and flavor and also elevates the taste of the barfi. Secondly, you need to stir the barfi mixture continuously. There is no shortcut for it and it can be overwhelming, perhaps. Make sure to stir the maida mixture till you get a thick flowing consistency. Lastly, once the barfi mixture attains a flowing silky consistency, it has to be immediately transferred to shaping mold. Cooking further can lead to hard and brittle which also may be a problem for shaping and cutting.
