Cooking and preparing traditional delicacies is one way, by which that feel of festivals comes into your house. With thousands of miles away from your home, this is the only way that we Indians living so far, can have that connection to the festivals.When our kids watch us making different dishes on various festive occasions, they become aware of our culture. So please friends even if you are too busy in your lives, take out time and prepare some traditional things at home yourself.
We went to Pumpkin Farms a few days back for Pumpkin Picking and my kids loved the hayride and farm visit. My little 4-year-old was so excited to pick his own pumpkin so that we can make Jack- o – lanterns. We came back home with 5 pumpkins, four for lanterns and one for cooking different recipes.
The other day, when I was thinking about what sweet should I make for Diwali, I saw this Pumpkin Sitting on my kitchen table, I quickly decided what I have to do with it.Yes, I made up my mind to make Pumpkin Burfi.
These Pumpkin Burfis are so easy to make and ultimate delicious in taste. I used homemade Mawa for this recipe, but you can use the store bought one. I have used a silver leaf to decorate which is totally optional. You may decorate it with powdered Dry coconut, sugar, and pistachios.
