COCONUT BURFI (THEGAAI BURFI) RECIPE

Coconut burfi is a yummy easy burfi recipe which mainly uses coconut.

Generally we use freshly scraped coconut to make this burfi. Everyone have their own way of making.

Actually my mom will use only coconut and sugar to make this burfi. But my MIL will add roasted rava to get more burfi pieces.

But few months back, my neighbour aunty prepared this burfi for my sister’s baby shower. She used roasted gram flour. It gave decent number of pieces and the taste and texture of the burfi was really awesome.

I never ever tasted a coconut burfi like that. It was so white in colour and melted in mouth.

Actually she used a pinch of baking soda, but here in this recipe I didn’t add. If you like you can add, which gives mysore pak like texture and to the coconut burfi and the color of the burfi will be whitish.
