BURFI A LA YAMUNA - INDIAN FUDGE
I have been hearing about burfi from my boyfriend's sisters for five years - "Burfi, mmmmm *drooling noises*" Last week Yamuna finally made some and it was so good it made my eyes roll back in my head. Needless to say it's not a diet food and a little bit goes a long way - make sure you've got a handful of people hanging around to help you eat this! Although it's not in the recipe and this tastes good as it is, I'd bet that a pinch of cardamom, saffron threads or rose water would taste wonderful in this recipe. Dried fruits like raisins or chopped dates could take the place of nuts as well. Will have to do some experimenting next time. UPDATE: In response to Sprue, I should have made it clear that you have to melt the butter and heat the milk very slowly. Otherwise the milk does burn before the sugar can dissolve properly. Once the milk is boiling you should lower heat to a very light simmer. Hope this helps!

INDIAN FUDGE
Steps:
- Grease an 8-by-8-inch square pan.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat and add the dry milk powder, ground cashews, chopped cashews, 1/4 cup chopped pistachios and ground cardamom. Stir and cook until the mixture begins to turn golden, about 10 minutes.
- In a separate pot, heat the sweetened condensed milk over low heat. Pour into the nut mixture and turn the heat off. Stir to combine, and then pour into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons chopped pistachios and let set for at least 20 minutes. Cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces and serve.
Tips:
- Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan. This will help to prevent the fudge from scorching.
- Stir the fudge constantly. This will help to prevent the sugar from crystallizing and the fudge from becoming grainy.
- Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature of the fudge. This will help you to avoid overcooking the fudge, which can make it hard and brittle.
- Let the fudge cool completely before cutting it. This will help to prevent the fudge from crumbling.
- Store the fudge in an airtight container at room temperature. Fudge will keep for up to two weeks at room temperature, or up to three months in the refrigerator.
Conclusion:
Indian fudge is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich, creamy flavor and variety of possible add-ins, there is sure to be a fudge recipe that everyone will enjoy. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give Indian fudge a try!
