- Cook the mixture until it starts combining together. Do not overcook the mixture otherwise it will turn sticky and becomes rubber like texture.
- Now, heat clarified butter in a Pan or Kadai on a low heat.
- Add desiccated coconut into the Kadai and sauté it a little. You will feel the aroma of coconut. Do not overcook the coconut.
- Now add sautéed coconut into the prepared milk powder mixture and mix well.
- Take a square or rectangle mould or baking tray and place butter paper in it.
- Now, add the mixture into the mould or tray and set the mixture evenly into it for 2 hours.
- You can also sprinkle some chopped dry fruits of your choice and press dry fruits a little on top of the mixture so that they will stick to Burfi. This is totally exceptional step.
- After 2 hours, take set mixture out of mould and cut it into your desired shape.
- Tada! Your Coconut Burfi is ready.
