Diamond or square shape milk based fudge is very popular with kids and elders.It is easy to chew so very popular.

This is a bottle gourd burfi and lower in calories in comparison to others. Learn how to make lauki ki barfi in simple steps.

    We have given a twist on the original barfi by adding little coconut flour to it. You can also add desiccated coconut instead of coconut flour if you do not have the latter. Lauki ki barfi/ ghiya burfi tastes more refined and addition of homemade mawa makes it very soft and creamy.
