    If you don't have sliver warq then garnish burfi with desiccated coconut or poppy seeds.
    If you store dry fruits, dates, anjeer (figs) in fridge, keep them outside over night for fasting process while making this burfi.
    Don't make all dry fruits in to powder but keep it coarse or in small pieces.
