Coconut Barfi

My mom used to make this barfi every year for Diwali. This is because Diwali comes right after Navratri and during Navratri we get a lot of coconuts for haldi kumkum. We would grate all the coconuts and freeze it to make this sweet during Diwali.

Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• 1 cup mounted Fresh grated coconut

• 1 cup flat Sugar

• 1/2 cup Milk

• 1/2 cup Ghee

• 1 tsp Cardamom powder

• Ghee for greasing a plate

Instructions

1. In a non stick pan, mix the coconut, sugar and milk and mix well

2. Start cooking it, adding ghee in between till the water evaporates and the mixture starts leaving the sides

3. Once you see the mixture frothing up with holes forming in the centre, add cardamom powder

4. Pour this mixture on a greased tray immediately

5. Once it is warm, cut it into small squares.

Notes

You can even add saffron, but personally I like the smell of the coconut-cardamom combination. Also I do not like the barfi to be yellow.
