COCONUT BARFI

 COCONUT BARFI

Usually at home, for Raksha Bandhan we always make Kheer. This time for a change I made the coconut burfi today and also clicked the pics. These were easy to prepare. Coconut barfi is a delicious south Indian Sweet recipe made with coconut, sugar, milk and cardamom powder. It is one of the most commonly made sweet during festivals & celebrations in South India.

Ingredients:

3 cups grated coconut (fresh or frozen)

1+1/2 cups sugar

1 cup milk powder 

1/2 tsp freshly ground cardamom

2 tbsp of ghee

Finely chopped pistachios for garnishing optional

Recipe:

1. Heat the ghee in a thick bottomed non stick pan. Allow it to melt completely and add milk.
2. Warm the milk for 1-2 minutes and add sugar. Mix it well and stir to dissolve completely.
3. Now add milk powder to the milk and keep it stirring continuously on a very low heat till it starts to thicken.
4. Add desiccated coconut and mix it in the mixture and cook it till whole mix starts to come together and form a thick mass.
5. Now grease a plate/dish with ghee and spread the hot coconut burfi mixture with a spatula while flattening it on the surface.
6. Garnish with chopped pistachios and place it to set in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Cut the milk powder coconut burfi into desired shapes and enjoy.

Enjoy and keep showering your love.
