Coconut burfi the most popular so simple dessert made during the festival times or celebration. Taste and simplicity of this coconut burfi is irreplaceable. We inherite the recipes from our ancestors for the taste. Usually coconut burfi is made with white sugar but I have replaced it with country sugar. Now adays dessicated coconut and coconut milk are readily available in markets. For easy method you can try with dessicated coconut for this burfi but I have used freshly grated coconut.
If using dessicated coconut, you need to soak it in milk or coconut milk for half an hour.
I have added moderate amount of milk to avoid soggyness. Do follow exact measurements given below for the exact consistency and taste.
