Mix the milk powder and cocoa powder together

Grease a plate/tray with ghee

Heat water in a kadai and add the sugar

Keep stirring till you get one string sugar syrup. One string sugar syrup means that when the sugar solution starts to boil, take a bit of it carefully between your thumb and index finger and separate it. It should separate as a string. When the sugar syrup comes to this consistency, take out the kadai immediately from the heat. Dont let it boil after this at all, or else the sweet will become too hard.

Now add the milk powder, chai masala and cocoa mixture to the sugar syrup and then mix. Add the butter and mix. You may feel that the sugar syrup is less and may be tempted to add water. But dont.

Now take this mixture back to the heat and for exactly 5 minutes keep stirring it continuously. You will see the mixture mix well and leave the sides of the kadai.

Pour the mixture on the greased plate and spread it out. My amma usually greases the bottom of a steel bowl and hits on the mixture to spread it.

Let it cool and then cut it into pieces. If you are like me and make a mistake in some step and the mixture refuses to take shape like burfi, don't despair.

Take small bits of it and make rounds of it. Flatten it and decorate it with a badam or kaju :) It tastes equally yum !
