Servings10 Burfis
Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon cashews
- 2 teaspoon ghee
- 1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder
Instructions
- Add little ghee, roast the broken cashews till golden brown and keep aside.
- Grease a plate/tray with ghee and keep it ready.
- Take wide bottomed non stick pan add sugar and water mix well till sugar dissolves completely and starts bubbling.
- Keep stirring continuosly, cook till a single string consistency : If you take a drop between your thumb and index finger you can see a single string forming as shown in the 2nd thumbnail - thats the right consistency.
- At this stage add coconut. You can even grind the coconut coarsely before adding it.
- Combine and keep stirring till bubbles star forming at the edges. At this stage add ghee.
- Then add cashews and cardamom powder and give a quick stir. After 3-5mins it will start thickening and form a mass without sticking and starts coming off easily from the sides of the pan - At this stage switch it off.
- Transfer the mixture to the tray and 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 Coconut burfis!!!
Notes
- While scrapping the coconut take care not to scrap till the brown sides. If you like ur burfi to be very fine then grind the coconut once in mixie, but I prefer the original coarse texture so didn't do it.
- Testing the sugar syrup is not that difficult, First the sugar syrup becomes very sticky only then single string consistency is reached. If you are a first timer like me check it every now and then till the desired consistency is reached.
- You can even roast the coconut separately before adding to the sugar syrup.
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 10 mins else marking pieces will be difficult.
