Making the Stuffing

- Begin by heating 50 ml of water in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the desiccated coconut and crushed paneer to the water, cooking for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is warmed through.
- Stir in the milk powder, powdered cashew nuts, and oats flour, mixing until well combined.
- Gradually add the sugar and melted white chocolate, continuing to stir until the mixture binds together and resembles a soft dough. Ensure it pulls away from the sides of the pan. Once done, set aside to cool.

Shape the Burfi:
- Grease your hands and a rolling pin with a little ghee or oil to facilitate rolling out the dough.
- Transfer the dough onto a sheet of wax or butter paper and roll it out to your desired thickness, typically about 1/4 inch thick.
- Use a cookie cutter or a sharp knife to cut the rolled-out dough into circles or your preferred shape.
-
Stuff and Shape the Burfi:
- While the dough is still warm, gently fold each circle into a half-moon shape.
- Spoon a small amount of the prepared filling into each half-moon, carefully sealing the edges to enclose the stuffing completely. You can press the edges to seal or use a little water to help it stick.
