Rose Burfi:


This eye-appealing sweet is sure to appeal to your taste buds. Just relish its sweet and fresh rose flavour without worrying about gaining those extra kilos, as it's not only low in calories and fat but also rich in nutrients like protein and calcium.I liked this sweet for its simplicity of preparation especially no cooking and the promised elegance of taste.
