Snow-white Coconut(khobri Methai) Burfi

Snow-white Coconut(khobri Methai) Burfi:-

This is a recepie i had first tried when i was in grade 9 (learnt from grand mother using fresh grated coconut then) , and happily forgot about with lot of other things to do in life. After few years of marriage tried to make it with little success , didnt know exactly when to remove the sugar syrup from the gas resulting in very soft or very hard texture of the burfi, until one day when my dear friends Shilpa Sunil Rao , got some snacks for diwali and it included this twin coloured coconut burfi.So quickly asked for the measures, etc to avoid goofups and here we had these lovely snow-white burfis , just as the name suggests.I have also tried rose flavoured oconut burfies which I will post soon too.

Do try this easy recepie without making any changes in the recpie in small quantities for perfect results.

 

 

Ingredients:-

1. 1Cup sugar
2. 1/3 cup water
3. pinch of cardimom powder
4. 1cup desicated (dry) coconut powder
5. 1spoon ghee for greasing the dish.

Method:-

1. Put the sugar and water in a non stick pan and bring to a boil .
2. Boil it while stiring until you get a 1 string consistancy( test between thumb and index finger a drop of sugar syrup , when u see only one perfect string when u test its ready). Very important , if it has not the right consistancy then the burfi will not hold itself . takes about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add the cardimom powder
4. Mix in the desicated coconut and stir well and switch off gass
5. Transfer in a greased dish and cut into pieces , let it cool and finally cut it over once again .
6. Serve.
