Thanks for the reply. In fact, what I observed was my syrup was much thicker than the one you prepared in your cooking demo. I had to add some hot water to get the mix right. So I was thinking may be my syrup became a lot thicker than it should have because of which my burfi came out very sticky.

I did try making them into balls like you suggested. But it was too sticky to the hands even, because of which it was not a very good experience.

What can we do in such cases when the syrup becomes more sticky than it should have been?

Syrup was not thick enough; make sure syrup is cooked to one thread. If you were not able to cut them, I will make them in small ball shape and may be roll them over shredded coconut powder or powdered almonds or pistachios.

I tried this recipe. But it came out too sticky..it didn’t solidify after cooling off. Because of this I was unable to cut them into pcs. Where did I go wrong? Please help.

I made this for my dad (originally from India) last Christmas; he ate almost the whole batch by himself! He loved it and I plan to make it again for him this Christmas. Thank you for this delicious and easy recipe.

[...] sweets from Punjab Sweets – the Soi ATM outlet near the temple. Was this a differently shaped kaju burfi? I’m not knowledgable about Indian sweets and the internet isn’t helping me out here. [...]

I just wanted to let you know that I made this with a couple of changes. I added some sesame seeds to it (I love sesame seeds) to give it a bit of a different flavor and texture. It turned out great! Then I used some of the fudge to make an ice cream with it that also turned out wonderful! Thanks so much for sharing the recipe. I really enjoyed it!

Hi Aunty,
Thank you so…………… much for this wonderful and easy recipe. My little boy is dairy allergic and I can’t make any milk containing desserts for him. I made a small batch (1/2 recipe) of kaju burfi just now and he already gobbled up 3 of them, while they were still warm God bless you.
