Recipe with milk powder - Milk Burfi Recipe using milk powder

Hello friends,

I bought milk powder for my lil kid one month back. But, he did not like it at all. So, I thought of trying to se the milk powder to come up with a super easy recipe. The first recipe, I tried with milk powder is milk burfi. It came out very well. I always break the sweets into small pieces to give to my kid. But, he wants the milk burfi as a whole piece and not as small pieces :-) I am happy that he loved the milk burfi very much. When he demands me a chocolate, I am giving milk burfi to him. He is happy with that and not demanding for chocolates. Better right??
