Besan Burfi (Chickpea Fudge)

A sweet and delicious indian dessert burfi made with besan and ghee. Besan burfi is a very popular mithai in north India just like mysore paak in south India. The only difference is the appearance and texture, though both of them have the same ingredients. Those who are calorie and weight conscious, this is not for them :-). But this has its own benefits. It is very good during winter months.
