#dussehra - Burfi is one of the most popular sweets in India, especially in the Northern regions. It is a must in all festivals or any happy occasions. It is an Indian dessert typically prepared with milk solids or gram flour. It is also prepared with cashews, pistachios, etc.
But today let me share Burfi made out of some candied ginger. It was my first try and I must confess that it came out really yummy.
