    This beetroot barfi or beetroot coconut burfi 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.

    Total Time30 mins
    Servings10 Barfis
    AuthorSharmilee J

    Ingredients

    • 1/2 cup beetroot
    • 1/2 cup coconut
    • 1 cup sugar
    • 1 tbsp cashews broken
    • 1/8 cup + 1 tsp ghee
    • 1/4 tsp cardamom powder

    Instructions

    • Peel off the skin, trim the edges and grate beetroot. Measure grated beets and set aside.
    • Now measure grated coconut, set aside. Now take ghee.
    • Grease a plate/tray with ghee and keep it ready.
    • Now add beets & coconut and sauté.
    • Sauté till raw smell leaves, this will take at least 10mins in low flame. Now add sugar, the mixture will turn gooey.
    • Add little ghee, roast the broken cashews till golden brown and keep aside. By now the mixture would have thickened. It will start coming together.
    • Keep stirring continuously in low flame, it will start to bubble at the edges. Look at the small bubbles at the edges.
    • Keep stirring for few more mins, once it is thick and starts to leave the sides of the pan it will also look little dry this is the perfect stage.
    • Transfer the mixture to the tray, flatten it using a flat bottomed bowl. Cut into squares when its still warm.
    • Cool down completely then store it in airtight container. I love it when it still warm, juicy yummy Beetroot burfis!!!

    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 gooey, 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 sauté 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.
