Coconut Burfi

 

Burfi is a simple Indian dessert commonly served on special occasions like weddings, and festivals such as Diwali. It’s also an excellent way to use fresh coconut flesh. If fresh coconut flesh isn’t easily available you also can use desiccated coconut, however, try soaking it in warm milk for an hour and straining before cooking to get a similar texture.

The other key ingredient is milk (ideally condensed, though fresh and powdered both work). This is an unsweetened version, but if you would like to add a sweetener, mix it into the milk before simmering the coconut. You could also use sugar substitutes: coconut sugar is a particularly delicious low GI option.

Once you’ve got this basic recipe down, there are endless options to experiment with different spices, nuts and dried fruit. Some great additions include saffron, almonds, cacao, and dried mango. Try a fresh twist by adding lime and ginger or make a delicate floral version with rosewater and crushed pistachios. You can also easily layer different flavors for a show stopping dessert.
