Chocolate Coconut Burfi Recipe
Ingredients Needed:
Grated Coconut - 1 cup
Cocoa powder - 2 tsp
Sugar - 1 cup
Ghee - 1 tbsp
Cardamom a pinch
Method to prepare:
Grate the coconut. Grating this when it is fresh is always best.
Add water enough to just cover the sugar and melt the sugar. Once you remove the scum, if any, bring the syrup to a boil. The syrup has to be of one thread consistency.
Add the grated coconut, cardamom powder, to the sugar syrup. Stir well so that it gets mixed fully! Keep stirring or else it might get burnt. You will know it's done when the coconut starts coming off the pan. Add the cocoa powder at this stage, stir well again.
For more taste, you can powder some cashew nuts and add.
Grease a plate on which you are going to set this. Then once the barfi is done, pour on to the greased plate. Just tap the plate down, it will get set automatically. Using a greased spatula, spread on the top for an even spread.
With a knife, make horizontal lines and then do a cross-line across to get a diamond-shaped Barfi. I have always seen only diamond-shaped ones. But this time had a square one done.

i hv a query, we need fresh coconut or dry coconut. pls tell me. tks
Srivalli says
AnonCoconut Burfi will come out well only mostly with freshly grated coconut. When my mom tried with dry coconut, it consumed more sugar and couldn't retain it's shape, it become rather more like a halwa. But taste wise it will be good as it will have oil

Want to try this but couldn't find unsweetened coconut so I want to replace it with sweetened found in most grocery store Can u please tell me the amount of sugar that will go with sweetened coconut please reply
Thanks in advance
Srivalli says
Anon I am not sure of the amount as I don't know how sweet the coconut will be. Maybe you can try using half the amount and experiment.
