Seeds of sesame fry in a dry frying pan or on a baking sheet until golden brown. Between ourselves we connect both kinds of milk: dry and liquid. Stirring, heat the mixture until it boils and reduce heat. Cook the milk until the liquid contents of the saucepan turns into a thick paste-like mass, which then should be combined with the fried sesame. At the same stage, add cane (or plain white) sugar, as well as a bit of cardamom.

How to cook sesame burdock with almonds?
The basis for burfi can be not only milk, but also almond flour - an ideal option for those who do not eat products of animal origin.
Ingredients:
- almonds - 1 1/2 items;
- palm sugar - 1 1/4 of the article;
- water 60 ml;
- pinch of ground cardamom;
- sesame for sprinkling;
- oil ghee.
Preparation
To maintain authenticity, the form for burfi greases ghee, but this is not a principle, you can replace it with ordinary butter . Almond nuts soaked in steep boiling water, and then cleaned and smeared into flour. We connect almond flour with cardamom. In warm water, dissolve sugar and cook from a mixture of thick caramel and combine it with almond flour.
The consistency of caramel plays a fundamentally important role, the resulting mass has an amber color and when it enters the water it does not dissolve for about a minute, while it is plastic and does not turn into candy upon cooling. The resulting mixture is distributed in the form and sprinkled with sesame seeds. After 5 hours at room temperature, the sesame burfi will be ready and can be cut into pieces.
