Coconut Burfi

इस व्यंजन को हिन्दी में पढ़ें

Ingredients
(makes about 15 pieces)

• Grated coconut 2 cups
• Sugar  1 cup
• Water 1 cup
• Ghee  1 tsp + few drops to grease the tray
• Green cardamoms   2

1. Remove the outer skin of cardamoms and grind them in the mortar.
2. Grease a tray, plate, or a small thali with ghee. Keep aside.
3. Heat a wok, dry roast the grated coconut for about 2-3 minutes on medium heat.

4. Boil sugar and water in a wok/pan. After the first boil reduce the heat and boil the sugar syrup till it gets thickened and makes a two string syrup. Two string syrup means that you take a drop of syrup between your two fingers and then stretch the fingers - if the syrup that sticks between the two fingers is making two threads (or strings) then the thickness of syrup is appropriate. Takes about 7-8 mins.

5. Now add dry roasted grated coconut, 1 tsp ghee, and cardamom. Mix well and cook till the mixture absorbs the sugar syrup. Takes about 2 minutes on medium-low heat.

6. Now turn off the heat and set the mixture on the greased tray. Let the mixture cool down, takes about 8-10 minutes.

7. Now cut the burfi in required shape.
