Coconut Burfi

Coconut Burfi

Ingredients

Freshly grated coconut – 1 (medium sized)
Sugar - 250 gms
Milk - 1 litre
Fresh cream - 2 tsp
Cardamom powder (Elaichi) - ¼ tsp

Method

Mix the freshly grated coconut with milk in a heavy bottom
pan for about 15 – 20 minutes on a slow flame.
Stir continuously with a spatula until all the milk is absorbed
by the coconut.
Add the fresh cream to the mixture.
Add the sugar and mix well to make a ball like mass of the entire mixture which has good binding. At the right consistency, the mixture should not be sticky to touch.
Add 2 spoons of powdered sugar and cardamom powder at the end to the entire mixture after removing it from the flame.
Grease a plate with ghee and spread the mixture in an even and thick layer on it while it's still warm.
You can use the flat side of a katori ( bowl) greased with ghee to evenly spread the mixture.
Cut this into rectangular pieces while it's warm.
Your nariyal barfi is ready to serve once it cools down!
