I have many times eaten this dodha burfi from sweet shops. I love milk sweets and I always prefer this burfi, kalakand or rasgulla over any other sweets. It was in my list to try dodha burfi last year itself. I could not source khova easily last year so missed making it. This year luckily I have good quality khova available and trying my hands at few khova based sweets like this ladoo, dodha burfi etc. If you want to make to something special and exotic for this diwali in less time you gotta try this mawa burfi recipe. When generously topped with nuts, it is so good and rich.

To make dodha burfi recipe we need very few igredients. Just khova, sugar, nuts. You need about 1 tablespoons ghee for roasting the khova. Thats it, I have added cardamom powder and saffron strands but they are totally optional. Slow roasted khova gives a wonderful flavor and that makes this burfi divine. If you can make this dodha with homemade khova it will be the best. However I have used store bought khova here.
