Servings12 pieces
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup tightly packed carrot grated
- 1/4 cup loosely packed coconut grated
- 3 tablespoon ghee
- 1/4 cup milk powder
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder
Instructions
- First grease a tray with ghee and keep it ready. Get ready with all the ingredients, measure and set aside.
- Add ghee, carrot and coconut to a pan.
- Sauté for few mins until raw smell of carrots leave. This will take at least 7-10mins in low flame.
- Add milk powder and sugar. Keep cooking in low flame.
- First the sugar will melt and the mixture will turn runny. Keep cooking and keep stirring.
- Add cardamom powder. It will start to form bubbles first and will start to leave the sides of the pan when you stir.
- Keep cooking and stirring until you see the mixture turn frothy. When it starts froth pour the mixture into the tray level it with a flat bottomed bowl and leave it undisturbed for 5 mins.
- When it is still warm, cut with a greased knife and mark pieces.
- After it cools down you can easily take out the pieces. Enjoy Carrot Burfi!
Notes
-
- If you leave the consistency then you will not get pieces, it will be dry and become a coarse mixture. If you remove a bit before then it will be like halwa so be careful while checking the consistency.
- The whole mixture should leave the sides of the pan and should be nicely frothy while stirring, this is the right stage to switch off and immediately pour on a tray and level it else it will start to crumble.
- The barfis are soft melt in the mouth texture but firm to look and hold.
- If you prefer add ghee fried nuts. I didn't add nuts.
- I was little doubtful so added little coconut but guess it can be replaced with extra grated carrot itself, will try it that way and update here.
- This burfi doesn't give volume because the carrots shrink. If you add more coconut it will give more volume.
