What is 7 Cup burfi or seven cup fudge
This sweet got its name “7 cup burfi” as 7 cups of ingredients are used in making this delicious sweet. Traditionally, this burfi is made with 5 basic ingredients in the ratio of 1:1:1:1:3 where we take 1 cup each of besan, ghee, coconut, milk and 3 cups of sugar. Seven cup fudge is very sweet in taste as it contains a high amount of sugar.
