Burfee Sojee (Burfee Semolina Halwa)
A sweet Treat at the end of an Indian Meal, is almost always a given. This Burfee Sojee, is easy to prepare and hits all the right notes on the sweet decadence scale.
Burfee is one of my, and my better half Imran’s, favourite amongst the Indian sweetmeat range. So being rather careful with our diets, Hubby dearest, one evening asks for a “sweeto meeto” (Imran’s Terminology for a ‘little sweet treat’ after a meal 😆). And since I had rid the kitchen of any temptations, I decided to treat him to this quick whip up of Burfee Sojee, sometime late last year. A slight change from a regular Sojee, this quick and easy Burfee Sojee is eggless and made for a delightful dessert. With various experimentations, I have settled on this recipe I Share with you today. I do hope you give this Burfee Sojee a try, and I look forward to hear from you in comments.
Do you ENJOY Sojee? Don’t forget to also try out my CUSTARD SOJEE , which is amazingly heavenly as well.
HAPPY ‘Burfee Sojee’ Stirring
