SUGAR BURA

Sugar bura, also spelled as “boora” or “bura,” is a type of sugar that is unrefined or partially refined. It is made by grinding sugar crystals into fine powder or small granules, resulting in a texture that is similar to powdered sugar but with slightly larger grains. Sugar bura is off-white or pale yellow in color and has a slightly gritty texture.

Culinary Uses: Sugar bura is used as a sweetener in various Indian sweets, desserts, and beverages. It dissolves easily in liquids and is often preferred for making syrups, chashni (sugar syrup), and mithai (sweets). Sugar bura is commonly used in recipes like laddoos, barfis, halwas, kheer, and gulab jamun.

Preparation: To make sugar bura, sugar crystals are ground or crushed into fine particles using special equipment. The resulting powder is sieved to remove any large particles, resulting in a fine, granulated sugar with a slightly grainy texture.

Varieties: There are different varieties of sugar bura available, including:
