Great recipe. As usual I modified like I do with almost every recipe I try. I added and stirred in quite a bit of dry fruit before adding condensed milk (raisins, almonds, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds etc). Did not use sugar but added a tbs Honey to make it soft as my extra ingredients were making it too dry. Net result, amazing. Thanks for the recipe. Will be used quite often. Easy and taste to die for.

Milkmaid is rich and creamy, sweetened condensed milk - the dessert partner that helps you make a range of mouth-watering sweets at home - be it payasam, ice creams, cakes and much more.
A popular method of making Burfi is with condensed milk. This negates the requirement to add sugar, since the condensed milk is sweet enough. Many recipes simply call for milk powder and condensed milk. While this is a perfectly delicious way to make burfi, the end result is very smooth and Peda like in texture.
If the mixture turns lumpy, turn the flame to the lowest level and break them all before proceeding to the next step. Else the lumps will get hard and spoil the texture of the barfi. Maintain the flame at medium to ensure the mixture does not stick to the pan. Using a non-stick pan works best for this recipe.
Sweetened condensed milk contains a very high sugar content, with a minimum of 20 grams of sucrose per glass. Sweetened condensed milk has 1 gram less protein value than other milk. In fact, there are sweetened condensed milk products that do not contain milk in them.
Condensed milk is a good source of these nutrients in addition to calcium, vitamin D, vitamin B12, vitamin A, riboflavin, phosphorus, and protein. These nutrients are necessary for healthy teeth and bones, a robust immune system, and a cardiovascular system.
Both condensed milk and evaporated milk are forms of concentrated milk in which approximately 60 percent of the water content has been removed, but that is where the similarities end. Sugar: Sweetened condensed milk is about 45 percent sugar, while evaporated milk is unsweetened.
While Nestlé MILKMAID's sweet relationship with Sri Lanka is just over a 100 years young, the beginnings of this historic brand can be traced back all the way to 1866 when George Ham Page from Dixon, Illinois (USA) and his brother Charles, who was the US vice-consul and commercial attaché in Zurich, created a company ...
There are two reason for this, either it is not completely cooked or you had put that burfi mixture on flame while cooking for more than the required time after adding sugar into it.

Condensed milk is evaporated milk that typically has sweetener added, so much so that the terms 'condensed milk' and 'sweetened condensed milk' are used interchangeably. Sugar is added before canning; condensed milk is very sweet and contains about 40 to 45 percent sugar.
If syrup is not right consistency Burfi can become very soft or very dry, in any case it is easy to fix. Burfi is too soft: add little more almond powder or coconut powder. May be make them in ladoo a ball shape little smaller then golf ball and roll them in almond or coconut powder.
Vark (also varak Waraq or warq) is a fine filigree foil sheet of pure metal, typically silver but sometimes gold, used to decorate South Asian sweets and food. The silver and gold are edible, though flavorless.
Milk-based sweets: Sweets like Rasgulla and Sandesh typically last 2-3 days when stored in the refrigerator. Dry sweets: Dry sweets like Barfi and Chikki can last up to 2 weeks when stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
If you don't have sweetened condensed milk, you can make your own using evaporated milk and sugar, or you can bring 3/4 cup of white sugar, 1/2 cup of water, and 1 1/8 cups of dry powdered milk to a boil and cook, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 20 minutes.

Sweetened condensed milk also has 60% of the water removed, but contains 40% sugar. Due to the big flavor difference, they cannot be substituted for each other. Always double-check which can you grabbed off the grocery store shelf to be sure it's the ingredient you're looking for.
