Halkova recipe | How to make maida burfi | Palkova recipe

Halkova or maida burfi recipe explained with step by step pictures and a video. Halkova or palkova is a very easy and tasty sweet recipe prepared using maida, sugar and ghee. Halkova is a popular sweet from 90's and it just melts in your mouth.
I have taken 1/2 cup maida, 1/2 cup sugar and 1/4 cup ghee. But you can reduce or adjust the sugar level as per your taste.
This type of halkova is very easy to prepare. The recipe is very similar to besan ladoo recipe. So if you wish you can make ladoos as well instead of cutting it into burfis. However roasting the maida under low-medium flame until the raw smell has gone is very important. If you do not roast it well, they might taste raw.
