Steps In Making Coconut Burfi
- Peel the skin of the coconut and wash it thoroughly. Now cut them into small pieces.
- In a mixer grinder grind the coconut for a minute or until it gets a fine texture.
- In a heavy bottom pan over medium flame add ghee and once it melts add the grated coconut and cook for couple of minutes.
- Now add milk and cook for around 4-5 minutes or until the milk is completely absorbed.
- Further add sugar and keep stirring it continuously, the sugar will release it’s water, cook till the water is completely absorbed and the coconut mixture becomes dry.
- Grease a plate or tray with ghee and transfer the coconut barfi mixture in it and spread it evenly.
- Garnish with some pistachios and gently press them inside the coconut barfi. Let it set for 4-5 hours in the refrigerator.
- Once set and firm cut the coconut barfi into square pieces.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Recipe Notes
- You can also use dry desiccated coconut for this recipe.
- Regular milk can be replaced with coconut milk.
- Don’t grind the coconut for very long, else it might release it’s milk. Grind for few seconds, stop and grind again. Repeat till you get a fine texture.
- Don’t cook this over high flame else the coconut will turn dark in colour.
- Before setting the barfi make sure the coconut mixture is dry, else it won’t set properly.
