Notes:

1. Make sure to add milk powder after the one string consistency is reached. 
2. Else the burfi will not set properly and end up in fudge.
3. You can add few drops of rose water to get a nice flavor.
4. Do not forgot to switch off the flame after the milk powder gets nicely incorporated into the sugar syrup. 
5. You can add half portion of the nuts along with milk powder. 
6. I used Nestle, Nespray Everyday Brand milk powder. 
7. You can add 1-2 tblsp of desiccated coconut to the milk powder mixture to get an enhanced taste to the Kesar Milk powder burfi.
