  • ½ cup fresh coconut tightly packed
  • ½ cup organic jaggery
  • ¼ cup water

  • Either grease a tray with ghee or line tray with parchment/butter paper. Set aside. Heat ghee in a heavy bottom pan, add the chopped nuts and lightly roast them.
  • Then add freshly grated coconut, roast on low flame till it turns light golden brown. Transfer to a plate and keep aside.
  • In the same pan add powdered jaggery, water, and boil till you get sticky consistency. You don't need 1 string consistency for this recipe.
  • Then add roasted coconut and nuts to the jaggery mixture along with cardamom powder.
  • Mix well and cook for 2-3 minutes on low flame till the mixture starts coming together leaving sides of the pan. Switch of the heat otherwise burfi will be chewy.
