Watermelon Rind Burfi /Tarbooz ke Chilke ki Burfi

Jibita Khanna
Jibita Khanna @Jibitakhanna

In this lockdown I had tried many things with watermelon rind like Tarbooz ke chilke ki bhajiya, chutney and halwa in my own way when Vegetable were short in the market.
Today while making watermelon juice for hubby , I thought why not try making burfi/ mithai for the Navratri celebration. So as soon as he left for office ,I started my kitchen experiment 😃.
I grated the watermelon rind and added it to the milk along with its water because I didn't want to throw away the nutritional water and used a pinch of saffron for flavour, as I feel saffron, cardamom and rose water together takes the Indian style sweet's taste to the next level .
It will take about 1 hour 20 minutes including cooking time ( excluding cooling/ chilling time ), if you simultaneously work , like while the milk is boiling/ simmering you can peel and grate the water melon , grind the sugar, Cardamom powder, soak and grind the Cashew into paste along with rose water, of course stirring the milk frequently and keeping an eye on it 😊 apart from arranging the ingredients.)
I didn't garnish it with any nuts except the Edible Silver leaf...if you wish you can do it. Hope you will try this delicious watermelon rind burfi and surprise your loved ones and tell me how it turned out 😊. TIA ❤️

Steps

1 hour 20 mins
  1. 1

    Measure and pour the milk in a non-stick pot (preferably) and put on the flame to boil. Wash and soak the Cashew in warm water (at least soak for half an hour).

  2. 2

    In the meantime, wash, peel and grate the watermelon rinds.In between add a pinch (4-5 saffron strands) of saffron to the milk. Boil and simmer the milk for about 20-25minutes, it will reduce a bit.

    Then add the grated rind to the milk and cook. In between grind the Cardamom seeds and add it. Grind and make a paste of the Cashew with rose water and water.

  4. 4

    After 15 minutes or so of cooking the rind in milk,add the Cashew paste and cook for another 10 minutes (lower the flame). Keep stirring it so that it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot.

  6. 6

    (Powder the sugar if the granules are big, so that it melts quickly or leave as it is) Now add the sugar and cook for another 30 minutes till it thickens, dries and forms a doughy texture but don't overdry it because it will firm up once it cools.

  7. 7

    In between prepare a plate (grease it with ghee) or tape a butter paper on a rectangular shape chopping board and apply little ghee on it too and put the doughy burfi mixture on it and spread it with the help of something flat like a steel spatula and your fingers to give it a rectangular or square shape (as shown in the picture). Let it cool and come to room temperature.(It took me nearly 1:45 hours.)

  8. 8

    Once it comes to room temperature, chill it in the fridge for at least two hours so that it can firm up a bit more and you can easily cut it into burfi as per your desired shape-square, rectangle, rhombus. If you are using edible silver leaf, apply it before you cut and if you are garnishing it with more nuts like pista, almond slivers, you can do that even after you cut it.

  9. 9

    Note: Serve it while still fresh or please keep it in the fridge in a closed container if you are not consuming it immediately. Bon Appetit!!! Happy Navrarti 🙏
