METHOD

2. Grease a tray/plate with a ghee and set aside.
3. Add sugar and water in a heavy bottom pan. Mix well until sugar dissolves.


4. Bring it to boil in a medium flame. Now add a tablespoon of milk that will bring out the dirt out of the sugar. This is another trick to get a nice and white burfi at the end.


5.Give a good stir wait for a second. You can see the foam on the top f the sugar. Remove the foam completely


6. Now add a freshly grated coconut and mix it well. Stir the burfi mixture continuously by keeping the flame low to avoid sticking in the pan.


7. When the buffi mixture starts to get thicken add cardamom powder and a tablespoon of rice flour/all purpose flour. Stir well.


8. When the burfi mixture starts to leave the sides of the pan without sticking and when we stir at this stage, a foam will be formed and the mixture will roll like a ball.

9. This is the correct stage to remove the burfi mixture out of the flame. Be alert at this stage to switch off the flame otherwise the mixture will be overcooked and gets powdered.

10. Pour the burfi mixture in the greasy tray. Allow the burfi mixture to cool off a little and then Make diamond shape / cube pieces of coconut burfi using knife.


11. Take the pieces when the mixture cools off completely and take it in a box and cover it with a lid.


12. The yummy coconut burfi is ready to serve.
Tips
1. Coconut Burfi tastes very well only when you prepare it using the fresh coconut. However, it can also be prepared with frozen coconut or desiccated coconut.
• To make hard burfi, cook for more time and for soft burfi, cook less.
• Adjust the amount of sugar to your preference.
• Also by mistake if you overcook the burfi and it gets powdered, nothing to worry. Keep the burfi again the flame and sprinkle some water and again mix the mixture well and pour it in greasy plate and make diamond shape pieces.
