Tiranga[Tricolour] Burfi/Maida Cake

Tiranga burfi
Tiranga burfi is called as maida cake(South Indian). I’ve made tricolour burfi to celebrate the 72nd Independence Day. Tricolour burfi is prepared with just three ingredients maida/all purpose flour, sugar and ghee. This is my mom’s recipe, but my mom used to prepare with Dalda(Sometimes). Maida flour is sautéed in ghee for few minutes. Sugar solution is prepared with sugar and water. Roasted maida is added to the sugar solution stirring continuously. The maida mixture is transferred into three bowls equally. Orange and green colours are added to the two bowls and mixed thoroughly. Now they are spread onto a greased tray with parchment paper and allowed to set completely. The prepared tricoloured cake is cut into required shape and size. Here I present Independence Day special Tiranga burfi to relish with family and friends. Njoy Cooking, Serving n Savoring!
