Dussehra and Diwali Delights: Gluten-Free Rajgira Burfi Shards

Festivals are such a wonderful time for family to get together and spend some quality time. This dish is a lip-smackingly delicious Burfi. But this burfi is a healthy one! Made with Gluten-Free Rajgira/Amaranth Flour, this burfi is just perfect for almost anyone!
Rajgira/Amaranth is considered a weed by much of the world, but it has been grown as a grain-like seed and a vegetable for thousands of years.This tiny-but-powerful food has some similarities to quinoa — both are good protein sources and are naturally gluten-free — but it also boasts of some impressive nutritional stats of its own.
Amaranth Is Gluten-Free:Amaranth doesn’t contain any gluten, which makes it a great choice for people who are celiac or gluten intolerant.
This burfi does not just boast of flavor but is so simple to cook up!
