Product Overview

  • Nuts (almonds, pistachios, or cashews) – for texture and flavor.
  • Ghee (clarified butter) – for richness and texture.
  • Sugar or khoya (milk solids) – for sweetness and binding.
  • Sometimes flavored with cardamom, saffron, or rose water.

   • Burfi is calorie-dense due to ghee, sugar, and nuts. Consuming large quantities may contribute to weight gain, blood sugar spikes (risk for diabetics), or cardiovascular concerns if consumed excessively.
