2. Make sure to filter the jaggery syrup using a cheese or muslin cloth. This helps to remove the impurities from the jaggery.

3. Shape the burfi when the peanut and jaggery mixture are still warm. Because jaggery tends to become hard once it gets cooled down.

4. Use a flavorless and odorless oil like vegetable or canola oil for greasing the plate, you can also use ghee or butter.
