When I say that I have made Adrak ki burfi, most people have a surprised look on their faces. I completely understand them. Burfi and that too, Adrak? “We use it in tea or as a herb in curries, but you are making a sweet with it? How come?”

Adrak ki Burfi is a perfect dish for winters. It brings back my childhood memories. Adrak ki Burfi or Aalyachi Wadi (in Marathi) is a staple at my mom’s place. During winters, my mom gets a good amount of ginger and make this burfi. It is very helpful if you have a cough or an itchy throat. It does have the heat from Adrak, but the cream/milk and sugar balance the heat. Only one thing you have to keep in mind that since ginger creates heat, so don’t consume it as a dessert. One or two burfis per day is more than enough.  

You will need:

  1. Ginger: 2 cups (grated)

2. Sugar: 3-4 cups

3. Cream: 1 cup

4. Ghee(clarified butter): 2 spoon

Method:

  1. Grease a plate with ghee and keep it aside. 

2. First, cut ginger into big pieces. 

3. Grind ginger, ½ cup sugar, and ½ cup cream. You will need cream and sugar to get a smooth mixture.

4. In a non-stick or heavy bottom pan, add ghee. Now transfer the ginger mixture.

5. Add the rest of the cream and sugar. 

6. Let it cook. It will start to bubble. Keep stirring.

7. The mixture will start to thicken.

8. Once it starts leaving the side and forms a ball, transfer it to a plate.

  4. I have never heard of adrak ki burfi and I am too temped to try it after looking at the pictures. This must such a delight to try during winters. And the fact that it is made with minimal ingredients is interesting too. I shall soon give this recipe a try.

  5. We love this. Usually helps in. Digestion so we make it to have this post heavy meals and also when throat irritation persists. We also replace sugar with jaggery and add dry ginger instead of fresh ginger as a variation.

  6. Adrak ki barfi! Nope, never. Though, my granny would make adrak chikki, candy, and sabji during winters to keep up with the immunity against seasonal bouts of cold. This is worth sharing with mom, thank you.
