This is an unique Indian traditional melt in mouth sweet made with suji or rava or semolina and slivered almonds and cashewnuts.This delicious sweet is perfect for any celebration and can be served chilled . Suji burfi is similar to suji halwa but dense and later dried and shaped into diamond, rectangle or square cuts.These burfi can be made attractive by adding food colour or by soaking few strands of saffron in milk and adding it to the mix.
