Burfi paratha recipe - Stuffed sweet paratha recipe

Burfi paratha is a stuffed sweet paratha which is prepared using besan mawa burfi. I have used some home made burfi just to finish them off in a different and tastier way. Like puran poli, this is also served with ghee and milk but definitely tastes different than regular puran poli. To make such burfi parathas you can also use any variety of burfis like mango burfi and almond burfi. The stuffing process is similar to other parathas. So, today I am sharing this recipe to show you how to use  burfis to make delicious stuffed sweet parathas.
