Coconut Burfi

Coconut burfi is a very popular homemade Indian sweet. During any festival or occasions, these are prepared at most of the household’s in south India. This requires only very few ingredients and can be prepared quite easily.

Coconut is my hubby’s weakness; when we make this at home, he finishes it in a jiffy. My younger sister makes this quite often at home. This time when she came to visit us, she made these delicious burfi’s. They came out in good shape and texture.
