Carrot Barfi Recipe | Carrot Burfi Recipe
Carrot Barfi is a soft flavourful sweet made using grated carrot, coconut, sugar and milk powder. It has a gentle sweetness and mild aroma of cardamom which makes the sweet very comforting. This sweet comes together in a pan and does not take much time also. Texture is soft but slightly firm so it holds shape well when cut.
Servings12 pieces
Ingredients
- ½ cup tightly packed carrot grated
- ¼ cup loosely packed coconut grated
- 3 tablespoon ghee
- ¼ cup milk powder
- ¾ cup sugar
- ¼ 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
- Cooking – I usually cook the grated carrot in low flame so that the raw smell goes away. This step is important because carrot should become soft before adding sugar.
- Stir continuously – After adding sugar mixture becomes little runny at first, keep stirring slowly so the mixture thickens and does not stick to pan.
- Checking – I check the mixture consistences is should be bubbly and frothy. At this stage it also starts leaving sides of the pan while stirring.
- Cut while warm – You can cut the burfi pieces when mixture is still slightly warm. If it cools fully before cutting then pieces may break and will be uneven.
- Adding nuts – You can add ghee roasted cashews or almonds if you like little crunch in the sweet. I sometimes add it for festival version.
