Coconut Burfi

Here's Burfi #2 from my mom's cookbook. We used to make this at home quite frequently as it was my dad's favorite. It's easy-peasy and super delicious!

Ingredients:

2 cups grated coconut

2 cups sugar

3/4 cup water

1/4 cup milk

3 tbsp ghee

1/2 tsp cardamom powder

Food coloring (optional)

Method:

Combine water, milk and sugar in a non-stick pan and bring to a boil.

Add the food coloring and the coconut.

Mix and keep stirring, till all the liquid has been absorbed. 

Add the cardamom powder and mix.

Add the ghee, 1 tablespoon at a time, and continue stirring till the mixture thickens.

The Burfi is ready when the mixture stops sticking to the sides of the pan and changes to a honeycomb-like texture.

Transfer to a well-greased plate and cut into pieces.
