Ingredients

• 2 cups dry shredded coconut or finely grated coconut
• ¾ cup Sugar
• ¼ cup Water 
• 3 tablespoons Ghee (or melted butter)  

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

• Heat ghee in a pan, add grated coconuts and roast it for few minutes.
• Once the coconut flakes are roasted, remove the pan from the stove and keep it aside.
• Dissolve the sugar in water and let it get heated in another pan.
• Keep stirring, until the sugar and water mixture reaches a syrup consistency.
• Add the roasted coconut flakes to the sugar syrup and cook in low flame.
• Make sure you keep stirring the mixture, otherwise it may burn at the bottom.
• The burfi will soon absorb all the sugar syrup, and it is ready when the coconut mixture thickens and form a soft, firm mass that come off easily from the sides of the pan.
• Grease a flat tray or plate with ghee or melted butter.
• Transfer the coconut barfi from the pan to the greased tray. When the burfi is cooled enough (about 30 minutes to one hour), you can cut them into pieces (square or diamond shaped slices) and serve!

Notes

You can store the coconut barfi in airtight containers for few days or keep it refrigerated.

If you refrigerate the burfi once its cooled, it will set even better so you can slice it even more easily.

This amount of ingredients will give you about 8 to 12 pieces of burfi which is around 4 to 6 servings, provided two pieces for a person.

We have made this simple burfi without milk, but you may also make coconut burfi more rich using milk, condensed milk etc and you can add flavors to it using rose water, cardamom powder, vanilla essence etc.
