Happy Vinayaka Chavithi to all the readers. Well, no indian festival is complete without offering coconut to the god. But there is also a belief that only sweets have to be prepared with the offered coconut. I was thinking of some easy and preservable sweet with coconut, coconut burfi came to mind and thus the recipe follows:
Fresh grated coconut - 2 Cups
Sugar - 2 Cups ( Or As per your taste)
Cardamom Powder - A pinch
Water - Enough to immerse the sugar
Ghee - To grease the pan
Procedure:
1. In a heavy bottom pan add the sugar and water just enough to immerse the sugar and bring to a boil keeping the heat on medium low.
2. Keep stirring the sugar syrup occasionally until a one string consistency is achieved.
3. Add the fresh grated coconut and cardomom powder to the sugar syrup and mix well. Keep stirring frequently so that the mixture doesn't stick to the bottom. Be careful while stirring as the hot bubbles may splatter.
4. Meanwhile grease a plate or baking pan with enough ghee and keep aside
5. Once the mixture starts to leave the sides of the pan( it may take about 15 min on medium heat), pour the mixture onto the greased plate and cut into squares and decorate with dry fruits.
6. Once cool, store it in an airtight container. The sweet is preservable and stays fresh for upto 10 days.
That looks great!
