It is generally prepared during festivals or any celebrations, but owing to its popularity, it is devoured year round. Gulkand is a sweet preserve of edible rose petals which looks like a jam or marmalade. It tastes delicious and has a cooling effect on the stomach.

Milk powder — Added to the recipe for its characteristic creaminess and binding properties. Milk powder also adds loads of richness to our Sandwich Gulkand Burfi. Powdered sugar — Added as the sweetener. Powdered sugar combines well with the burfi mixture, confirming homogeneity throughout the recipe. Rose essence — It lends an intense, fresh floral aroma to the recipe, making it drool-worthy. Gulkand — This is the most exotic ingredient of this recipe that enhances the flavor and aroma of the recipe besides adding health benefits. Ground cardamom — Added for a more enticing flavor and aroma. Saunf mix or Mukhwas — As a garnish, spread it around and give this fantastic dessert recipe a festive look. Heavy-bottomed pan prevents burning — Using a heavy-bottomed wide pan for cooking is recommended as it will prevent the burning of the milk. The best practice — Medium flame and constant stirring are the keys to well-cooked ricotta. Keep stirring occasionally to avoid burning ricotta, and patiently handle the cooking process. Hasty cooking may burn the ricotta and spoil the entire recipe. For an absolute floral flavor and aroma — This mawa burfi with gulkand is flavored intensely with rose essence. However, if rose essence is not available, you may use Roohafza. Roohafza furnishes the recipe with the right amount of floral flavors and enticing colors.
Benefits of using Gulkand — Gulkand is known for its many health benefits, such as purifying blood, aiding digestion, and improving appetite. It also relieves hyperacidity and acts as a mild laxative. Being a natural coolant, gulkand refreshes the mind and body. It is also suitable for improving skin complexion. Lump-free dough for smooth-textured burfi — Ensure the mixture is lump-free and smooth after combining all the ingredients. The lump-free mix makes smooth-textured burfis with a perfect melt-in-the-mouth texture. An attractive avatar — This Indian fusion dessert can be modified into a gulkand sandwich roll by altering its shape and rolling it out instead of shaping it as a square-shaped burfi. Chocolate-y variation — Instead of the gulkand layer between the mawa layers, you can introduce a chocolate layer if you are a chocolate fan. For this, divide the mawa into 3 parts. Add 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder to one of the parts as soon as the mawa thickens. Also, add 2 to 3 tablespoons of sugar to the mix to bring in the flavor. So, take your time and allow the burfi mixture to cool down completely, and set it properly in the tray. Once it is set correctly, cut it into the desired shape and remove it from the tray. I highly recommend wiping the knife clean between each cut. You can also apply some ghee to the knife to make the slicing easier.
