As the demand for sweets rises during the festive season, the cases of adulterated ghee, milk, khoya, and other dairy products are on the rise. To make fresh mithai at home, follow this coconut barfi recipe.
2 cups grated coconut 1 cup sugar 1/2 cup milk 2 tbsp ghee 1/4 tsp cardamom powder Cashew nuts or pistachios for garnish
Take a pan and simmer the milk. Add sugar and keep simmering till it dissolves.
Turn up the heat and add grated coconut. Keep stirring till the mixture thickens.
Add cardamom powder. Reduce the heat and let the mixture get to a dough-like consistency.
Once ready, transfer it to a greased tray and spread evenly.
Garnish with chopped cashew nuts and pistachios. Cut into pieces and add to the bhog thali.
