Coconut Burfi
People think I cook/eat healthy food, wonder what the definition is?
Fitness trainers think my food is unhealthy.
I think I include all food in moderate and workout!!!! Swim lessons is my recent adventure!
What I cook/eat includes oil, ghee, salt, coconut plus regular white rice, veggies, other grains and less of sweet as I dont have sweet tooth :-) But surprised to see myself eating some sweets better than what I was a decade ago. So started to try sweets in little quantities...this one is a quick recipe if you have coconut ready. But I used fresh coconut.
Recipe:
* 1 cup grated coconut (I used fresh and ground it in mixie)
* 3/4th cup sugar, half cup water
* Add sugar and water in a non-stick pan and boil for like 5mins
* Check for single thread consistency, by taking a drop of the liquid
* When ready, add coconut and cook for 10mins in medium flame
* Add elachi powder and stir well. Take a small peice to see if you can make a ball.
* If yes, then turn off and transfer to greased plate, cool and cut into diamond shapes.


Hi,
ReplyDeleteNew to your blog. Super white coconut burfis!!! Seems you have patiently peeled off the outer brown skin of each and every piece. Mine always used be a little off-white in color. Need to try your way once. Raji.
