Beetroot Burfi / Beetroot Coconut Barfi Recipe – Easy Diwali Sweets

October 13, 2016 by Sharmilee J 5 Comments

Beetroot Burfi

Beetroot Burfi / Beetroot Coconut Burfi is my recent try for Diwali 2016.This beetroot barfi is one of the easiest sweets even a beginner in cooking can try.This tastes more or less like coconut barfi but I tried a different method this time by adding everything together , I was little doubtful but it came out super good.The pieces were firm and tasted great too.The color of the burfis were so gorgeous and colorful that kids will sure love it too.

I have the habit cooking something sweet when  I start using any new pan and I started with this burfi in this new pan too 🙂 I bought this exclusively for making sweets and snacks for Diwali as I stopped using nonstick pan and this is the first Diwali I am going to manage without it…so far good hope it stays so 🙂

Beetroot Burfi Recipe

My Notes:

  • Use heavy bottomed pan.I used my new steel pan.
  • If grated coconut is not fine, then run it in mixie once.Also use fine grater for grating beetroot.
  • I just added cardamom powder alone, you can add any essence if you prefer.
  • After the sugar is added it becomes goey,then it will start to come together as a mass then further cooking small bubbles appear at the edges at this stage get ready,very soon it will start to leave the sides of the pan and starts to become dry, transfer it immediately else the burfi will start setting.
  • Make sure to saute beetroot well else raw smell will retain.
  • When the desired stage is reached act very fast and transfer to the greased plate, else the burfis would become hard.
  • Make sure you cool them only for 5 mins else marking pieces will be difficult.When its still warm use a knife to cut into pieces.
  • You can use any nuts of your choice.
