The coconut burfi recipe given below is one of the easiest recipes you will ever try. You can never go wrong with this recipe. No milk, condensed milk, no sugar, or flavorings are used, and you do not have to worry about achieving any string consistency while melting and caramelizing jaggery. Just like magic happens when milk and sugar are combined while preparing Mathura peda, similar magic happens when coconut and caramelized jaggery are combined.

Instructions

  • INGREDIENTS USED TO MAKE COCONUT BARFI OR NARIYAL BURFI OR SOYI KHADI 1 1/2 cup Grated Coconut (I use freshly grated coconut. You can even use dry or frozen grated coconut) 1 cup Jaggery (Gur, chikki jaggery, or Anta god) HOW TO MAKE COCONUT BARFI? NARIYAL KI BURFI BANANE KI VIDHI? In a pan on medium to medium-low heat, add jaggery and coconut, and keep stirring the mixture. It changes its color from light brown to dark brown in few minutes. Please see that you keep stirring the mixture during the entire process to avoid it from burning at the bottom and for even cooking. The mixture becomes thick, excess moisture evaporates and starts leaving the base. For a softer barfi, remove it at this stage. For a perfect melt-in-mouth barfi, cook for additional 1 or 2 minutes. For a barfi with a toffee-like texture, cook further for 3 to 4 minutes (mixture becomes harder to stir) Spread this mixture on parchment paper or a plate (thali) greased with ghee or butter and flatten it with the back of a ladle and let it cool for few minutes. Cut into the desired shapes and enjoy.

Notes/Tips

TIPS: 1.Adjust the amount of jaggery to taste. 2.You can add ghee and roasted nuts to the barfi to make it richer and look more festive. 3.Entire process is done of medium to medium-low flame. 4.I really can’t give the exact time as it varies depending on the thickness and the material of the pan used, the intensity of the flame, and quality of ingredients used.
