Ingredients:

To make this delicious coconut burfi, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 2 cups of grated coconut
  • 1 cup of condensed milk
  • 1 cup of sugar
  • 1/2 cup of ghee (clarified butter)
  • 1/4 cup of chopped nuts (optional, for garnish)
  • A pinch of cardamom powder
 Preparing the Coconut Mixture
  • In a non-stick pan, heat the ghee over medium heat.
  • Add the grated coconut to the pan and sauté for a few minutes until it turns slightly golden brown.
  • Next, add the condensed milk and mix well. Let it cook for another 5 minutes, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
Adding the Sweetness
  • Now, add the sugar to the coconut mixture and mix thoroughly.
  • Continue cooking the mixture on low heat, stirring continuously until it thickens and starts to leave the sides of the pan. This should take around 10-12 minutes.
Flavorful Touch
  • Once the mixture reaches a thick consistency, sprinkle a pinch of cardamom powder and mix well. This will infuse the burfi with a delightful aroma.
Shaping the Burfi
  • Grease a flat tray or a square baking dish with ghee.
  • Transfer the coconut mixture to the greased tray and spread it evenly using a spatula.
  • Optionally, garnish the top with chopped nuts, pressing them gently into the mixture.
Cooling and Cutting
  • Allow the coconut burfi to cool completely at room temperature.
  • Once cooled, refrigerate it for a couple of hours or until it sets firmly.
  • Take the tray from the refrigerator and cut the burfi into desired shapes, such as squares or diamonds.
