Coconut dessert is popularly made in Maharashtra especially during Narali Purnima. Today I’ve made a 2 layered and 2 flavored coconut Barfi. You can substitute the rose flavor to any other flavor of your choice (khus, saffron, paan, chocolate, etc). This is a quick and easy version of coconut Barfi and is ready in less than half an hour.
INGREDIENTS:
- 2 cups desiccated coconut
- ¾ th cup milk
- ½ -¾ cup sugar (can adjust to taste)
- ½ cup of milk powder
- 3 tsp ghee
- 2-3 tbsp rose syrup
- 1-2 tbsp rose petals
- 2 tbsp Mawa
- 2 tbsp desiccated coconut
- Pistachios and rose petals for garnish
INSTRUCTIONS:
Add desiccated coconut (2 cups) in a pan. Add milk, sugar, milk powder, and ghee.
Turn on the flame to low med and mix well.
Add Mawa.
Keep stirring for around 10-12 mins or until mixture forms dough-like consistency and leaves sides of the pan easily.
Transfer half of this mixture to a container or plate. Spread it out evenly to give a square shape.
Add rose syrup and rose petals to the remaining half of the coconut mixture in the pan. Add 2 tbsp of desiccated coconut and stir well.
Cook for another 4-5 mins or until rose and coconut mixture thickens.
Switch off the gas and spread this mix over the square coconut mixture.
Spread evenly with help of spatula.
Leave to set at room temp for at least an hour.
Cut Barfi into pieces and garnish with pistachios and rose petals.
Your super easy, quick and delicious coconut rose burfi is ready.
Enjoy.
