Coconut Burfi / Kerala Coconut Sweets

Coconut Sweets

Coconut sweets /  burfi are a traditional Kerala sweet often made in many homes during the festive season. This was one of mine and hubby’s childhood favorites. Mom used to make it in two layers, one layer in white and another one is pink or green. For this recipe you should use freshly grated coconut and use only the white part of the coconut. Also you should be extremely careful of the sugar consistency.... This is an easy to make sweet dish. You can make it not only for festivals but also as an item for a tea party or can be packed as a nice return gift too.... 
Wishing You All a Very Happy, Prosperous and Safe Diwali!!!

    1. After you get 1 string you need to heat few more minutes and you will get two strings when you touch the mixture between your fingers, that's two string consistency.
