The first time I had seven cups burfi is when a neighbor of mine shared it on an occasion. It tasted very delicious and yet different from kaju katli. When asked she told me that it was 7 cups.I was thrilled by the name and googled it to find out the recipe.After seeing the ingredients I understood why it got the name.So I tried it immediately on the following weekend.It is a very easy one as there is no need to boil sugar to a string consistency .Just mix all the ingredients together and keep stirring till the desired consistency for burfi is reached.So it is a fail proof one for all the beginners out there who are trying to make burfi for the first time.

Gram flour or besan-1 cup
