30 COCONUT BURFI

Coconut Burfi/Thengai Burfi/Kobbari Mithai

Wishing you all a Happy Tamil New Year and Vishu!!!

This is one of my version of making this burfi and is very simple and does not require to make any syrup and watch for any consistency.
But I prefer to make this sweet with freshly grated coconut flakes as it tastes very good. This is one of my fav and I love this sweet, though at home they do it with 2 other variations. This is one of the simplest and easiest.

Freshly grated coconut flakes - 1 cup
Granulated sugar - 1 cup
Ghee - 1 tbsp
Cardamom powder - 1 - 2 pinch


Grate the coconut with the help of a hand grater, see to that it does reach the shell as we do want to use that and also to get a good color.
Take this in a dry mixer and run in pulse for few seconds. No need to powder or make a paste, just to crush lightly. So switch on your mixer and count 1 2 3 and repeat twice. Add sugar next and repeat the same.
Now comes the best part. Keep aside this mixture for a hour to let the water from the sugar to come out.

Now take this in a frying pan preferably nonstick and start stirring until it is thickened. No need for any ghee to be added. Keep stirring continously until it is thickened.
Meanwhile grease a plate with ghee and keep ready. Pour the mixture on it and allow it to cool and set. Later slice it up before it is hardened and enjoy your delicious coconut burfi.
