Singhare ki Burfi....


S


inghara is Indian water chestnut with thick red.....esh green skin. It is triangular is shape with two small skips at top. The fruit is lightly sweet in taste and it is milky white in color. It is eaten as a fruit when it is fresh, made into curries when halfway mature and made into flour when completely dry.
During fasting, Hindus don't eat anything that contains cereals, lentils and ordinary salt. So fasting food or vrat ka khanna, is the other way of making staple food like poories and parathas.
Singhara flour is one of the flours which can be used during fastings. It can be used in different ways as to make poori, halwa, paratha, pakori or burfi.
