Besan Burfi

Besan burfi, also spelt besan barfi, is a traditional Indian sweet made from gram flour, ghee and sugar, cut into small squares. It is ready to eat, so it suits festival gifting, family visits and an afternoon cup of chai.

What Besan Burfi Tastes and Feels Like

Besan burfi has a soft, slightly crumbly texture that melts in the mouth. Besan is gram flour, which is ground from split brown chickpeas (chana dal). When it is slowly roasted in ghee, it gives the sweet a warm, nutty aroma. The taste is rich and sweet, with a gentle toasted flavour that is different from milk-based burfi.

When to Serve Besan Burfi

Besan burfi is a popular sweet for celebrations and everyday treats alike. Many families serve it at these times:

  • Diwali, Holi and Raksha Bandhan
  • Birthdays, weddings and family get-togethers
  • With masala chai or coffee in the afternoon
  • As a small sweet after a meal
  • On a plate for guests who drop in

How to Serve Besan Burfi

Besan burfi is rich, so small squares go a long way. Arrange the pieces on a plate and let guests help themselves. If you want to make a gift box, place a few pieces in a tin or box lined with paper. Pair it with a strong, hot drink, because the sweetness goes well with spiced tea.

Disclaimer

We take great care when preparing and securely packing every order; however, during transportation, parcels may be handled by several parties, including the courier, and despite our best efforts, minor cosmetic damage such as dents, marks, scuffs or damage to external packaging may occasionally occur. Minor cosmetic damage that does not affect the product’s safety, quality or intended use will not normally be considered a product defect. This is particularly applicable to products supplied in cans, tins, plastic containers, boxes or similar packaging. If you receive a product that is broken, leaking, materially damaged, unsafe, unusable or otherwise not as described, please contact us within 24 Hours of delivery by email or telephone and provide your order number, details of the issue and clear photographs of the damaged product and packaging. We may require further information or evidence to investigate the matter and, where necessary, may take up to 14 days to complete our investigation. Where damage appears to have occurred during delivery, we may need to raise a claim with the courier, and you may be required to complete and return any Damage on Receipt (DOR) form or other documentation requested by the courier before the claim can be processed. Some products we sell are price-marked or display a manufacturer’s recommended or printed retail price. Please note that our online selling prices may differ from the price printed on the product because online orders involve additional costs such as picking, packing, packaging materials, warehouse handling, payment processing, website administration and delivery-related costs. You may therefore receive a product displaying a printed or recommended retail price that is lower than the price you paid online. The price you agree to pay is the online selling price displayed on our website at the time you place your order, and the presence of a lower printed or recommended retail price on the packaging does not, by itself, mean that the online purchase price was incorrect. Product images displayed on our website are for illustration and presentation purposes only. Actual product packaging, branding, design, colour, size, shape or appearance may vary depending on availability, manufacturer, batch or packaging updates. Such variations do not necessarily indicate that the product supplied is different from the product ordered, provided that the product itself corresponds to the description and specifications stated on the website. We ask customers to check their order and products as soon as reasonably possible after delivery and contact us promptly if there is any material damage, fault, incorrect item or issue with the goods.
